There are more than 100,000 craters on the moon

There are more than 100,000 craters on the moon That s far more than the 9,137 officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union. Side view of the crater Moltke taken from Apollo 10. Image: Wikipedia Both the Earth and the Moon have been hit many times throughout their long 4.5 billion year history. Once something hits the Moon, that event becomes frozen in time. Earth, on the other hand, brushes these impact craters off and moves on with its life. That’s the reason there are so many craters on the Moon compared to Earth! What’s more, their formation and evolution record the history of the inner Solar System.

The moon may have far more lunar craters than previously known

The moon may have far more lunar craters than previously known CNN 12/22/2020 By Katie Hunt, CNN © Juan Mabromata/AFP/Getty Images Using artificial intelligence, Chinese scientists identified over 109,000 previously unrecognized lunar craters on the moon s surface. The moon is shown here, as seen from Buenos Aires on December 21. Moon craters formed when meteorites and asteroids slammed into the lunar surface. Like fossils on Earth, they reveal something about the history of the solar system and how planets were formed. Using artificial intelligence, Chinese scientists have estimated that there are more than 100,000 craters on the moon, according to a study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications. That s far more than the 9,137 officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union and largely detected manually using elevation information and images, the study said.
