New Findings Reveal Moon's Largest Crater Is Surprisingly Circular The South Pole-Aitken Basin: The Moon's Geological Wonder The South Pole-Aitken basin stands as the moon's most ancient and expansive visible crater, a colossal geological scar, 4 billion years old, that holds invaluable insights into the moon's primordial past, akin to a lunar time ca psule. Challenging Prevailing Theories on the Basin's Sha pe Researchers, considering certain characteristics of the basin, hy pothesized that the crater took on an oval or elli ptical sha pe. For many years, scientists believed it had been created by an object im pacting the moon at a shallow angle, potentially similar to a stone ski p ping across water. According to the model,minimal debris would have scattered across the lunar South Pole, the designated landing site for future Artemis missions aimed at returning humans to the moon. New Research Brings a Fresh Pers pective A recent study led by the University of M...
