Why are meteor craters so circular?
Is gravity so strong that a meteor swinging by the earth, moon or planet at
25,000 miles per hour on a tangent trajectory is pulled in for a direct impact? Viewing pictures of planets I don't think I ever saw an oblong meteor crater that would come from a glancing blow.
