Mars crater named after Nepal quake-hit village
The International Astronomical Union has named a 9.8-kilometre​ wide crater on Mars after Nepal's earthquake-hit village of Langtang. The village, which served as a Himalayan base camp, was one of the worst hit villages in the 2015 Nepal earthquake, killing more than 200 people. According to a researcher, the crater showed signs of water flows and remains of former glaciers.
