The Moon’s Craters: A Permanent Record of the Universe’s History

The black spots visible on the surface of the Moon are actually deep pits called craters. These craters are formed when meteorites from space collide with the Moon’s surface. Unlike Earth, the Moon lacks an atmosphere to burn up meteorites, so every impact creates a new crater. According to NASA research, there are over 5 million craters on the Moon’s surface, and this number is constantly increasing. The largest of these craters is the South Pole-Aitken Basin, which is so vast that Mount Everest could fit inside it several times. Due to the absence of atmosphere and water on the Moon, these craters never erode. Every impact and explosion leaves a permanent mark on the Moon’s surface. These craters bear witness to the Moon’s history and reveal the secrets of the universe. The craters on the Moon’s surface are like pages of its diary, telling us about its history and the universe.
