"If a collision occurs one by one, a new crater on the crater of the old. But it is very symmetrical, so they created at the same time, "said Ian O'Neill, Discovery News contributor.
The question is, how it happened? Initially it was probably just a meteor, but then split into two when entering the Martian atmosphere. Incidentally, the two halves were roughly the same size and fall in a very close, even side by side.
Recorded on the HiRISE Web site when asteroids and comets can be divided into two when it goes into the atmosphere of a planet. Asteroid Itokawa, which is visited by Hayabusa, the spacecraft's Japan, has two parts.
Mars not only had two twin craters, but also have triplets crater. However, this triplet crater does not look as clear as two twin craters. "Maybe because the crater is older and has been eroded," said O'Neill.
However, what exactly triggers the formation of two twin craters are still a mystery until now.
