Craters and their origins
Fairly well proved, and, at least, it has become orthodox truth that most large craters formed by meteorite bombardment of the lunar surface.
Volcanic activity is not the cause of the craters may, some, not very large percentage, and set up that way, but not the biggest. There are other theories, but the windows Reiser believes that they should be checked. No one says publicly that some of the smaller craters were formed on the grandfather! blowing, while others were deliberately carved. This official silence exists in the face of the fact that the processes of erosion and gouging is clearly visible in many photographs of NASA, and some scientists HASA discussed this in private conversations.
The moon rotates on its axis and wrapped around the Earth and Sun. (Do not mix these two different things).
Whatever it was, the moon still revolves around its axis despite the fact that to us all the time she turned one and the same party. The reason - the rotation at the same speed around its axis and around the Earth.
The period of rotation of the Moon around the Earth is approximately equal to the calendar month. Its orbital speed is 2,287 miles per hour Period of revolution around the Sun as the Earth - one year.
