I think the title is misleading. I clicked on the link thinking it was news of an asteroid having slammed into Mars within the last few days. While misleading titles to increase click-through are common among sensationalist journalism, I think we at Wikinews should aspire higher. The title should be amended to be clearer that it is a theory about an ancient collision.
