Moon craters used to measure lunar time have been reassessed, indicating some features are much older than we thought, possibly by up to 200 million years.

Researchers fhave reconciled conflicting methods of dating the Moon's surface, revealing that parts of its crust are about 200 million years older than previously thought. The revised dating, achieved by comparing Apollo samples with crater counts and spectroscopy data from various Moon missions, ha
The researchers point to a giant indentation called the Imbrium Basin, thought to be one of the largest craters in our solar system, as an example of their findings.
