Organizing and summarizing search results for youLunar impact craters are produced by the collision of meteorites or comets with the Moon's surface. They leave behind bowl-shaped depressions. The largest and oldest-known impact site on the Moon is the South Pole-Aitken basin, which dates back to around 4.32 to 4.33 billion years ago.2 Sources - See all on Wikipedia
