This animation shows the
impact of water drops on the surface of granular particles.
The high-speed photography
reveals the detailed liquid-drop impact dynamics at various impact velocities.
When a granular material is impacted by a sphere, its surface deforms
like a liquid yet it preserves a circular crater like a solid.
Liquid-drop impact cratering follows the same energy scaling and reproduces the
same crater morphology as that of catastrophic asteroid impact cratering.
