These are remarkably sharp images. Can you imagine one of these deep craters being larger than the whole LA metro area? Something had hit the surface of the moon so hard it made a crater that spans 100 miles wide. Sure glad we have a thick atmosphere that will burn those rocks up before they hit the surface, =or we would be in serious trouble.

Where I live we are lucky to get a clear night that lets us use a telescope above 200 magnification. Winter some time we can get higher magnification 400/500 or so and that lets us do closeups of the carters.

A 100 mile wide meteor would not burn up in our atmosphere. A 100 mile wide meteor would most likely bring life as we know it to an end. In the earlier days of our earth and the moon, large meteor where common. Over time the planets sweep out most all the large meteors so we are not bothered by them today. Only the very small one that come into our orbit. they are brought in by passing comets.

Not that one of those meteors could not have been 100 miles wide, but I was not saying it would take a rock that size to make such a larger crater. I really have no idea what size those craters are, but I imagine there are those who have measured them.
