"The moon remembers everything in the last four-and-a-half billion years," says Noah Petro, Project Scientist for NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). Without wind, water, or molten rock to erase geologic history, everything that hits the moon leaves a mark.
Noah explains the significance of some of the craters in this 3-minute video.
As a scientist, he appreciates the data - but he appreciates the beauty of the images as well.
For a beautiful combination, this video combines moonscapes with the famous "Clair de Lune" (English translation, "Moonlight") by French composer Claude Debussy.
