2. NASA Offers New View of Lunar Crater (via Discovery News)

From the Article:

Any way you look at the moon, it's hard not to be captivated by it -- craters, rilles, maria, even defunct space probes hanging out on the surface. What's not to love?

Well, NASA's got something new for the geo-geeks in the house: a bedrock geologic map of Schrodinger Basin, a giant crater near the moon's south pole that formed from a collision with a space rock 21-25 miles in diameter.

[Clip]

NASA decodes all of the awesome on its website, but here's a quick rundown: this is a peak-ring impact basin, literally a violent splash of rock in which the interior of the crater (the light brown, fragmented ring) has rebounded from the force of the impact and frozen as an area of uplifted lunar crust.
