Hi Roc,

From my understanding the craters were almost all formed many millions of years ago, nothing erodes or changes due to no atmosphere.

The most recent bombardment was when they were suveying the moon for landing sites back in the 60s. They sent Misslies that had their nuclear warheads removed under various treaties to the moon with a camera in the nose cone that recorded and transmitted the pics as they splatted on the moons surface. Think I saw that on the BBC series the Planets, sent heaps.

Judging by the number of meteors there must be some sizables still hitting the moon but getting a shot would be tricky.

It would probably make you famous if you did get a shot......hmm, think I might just pop outside and see how the cloud cover is going.
