I didn't see what everyone else said, but to me it has to be the result of
the simultaneous impact of two impactors. The material thrown out
perpendicular to a line between the centers of the two craters would be
due to the overlapping/disrupting shock waves. If the two craters formed
at different times then the ejecta from one would just overlay the older
crater. Great pic!
