Detailed explanation-1: -The International Astronomical Union has now named a 9.8km (six mile) wide crater on Mars as Langtang.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jezero Crater sits within the Isidis Planitia region of Mars, where an ancient meteorite impact left behind a large crater some 750 miles (1, 200 kilometers) across. This event is known as Isidis impact, and it forever changed the rock at the base of the crater.
