So how come the extra craters?

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Some creatures popped their heads up to see what the hell was going on after their home was attacked by aliens?

I would be interested to read more of the mechanics of this; with such a low gravity I am surprised that the fragments fell back with sufficient velocity to create a crater. In fact I wouldn’t have thought they would fall back at all. So how come the extra craters? It would have helped if the article had included a little more explanation.
