Wrong on two points... the craters are "concentrated" on the near side facing the earth and scientists don't know why this is so...
I guess "scientists" forgot to ask you rosborne...
Rex, if you meant to say that something was *concentrated* on one side of the moon instead of the other, then you should say that in the first place instead of saying that there are giants dents only on one side of the moon, which isn't what the article says at all.
The Lunar Maria are large ancient impact sites which filled with magma eons ago. The fact that the moon is tidally locked with the Earth seems like a fairly obvious reason for an uneven dispersal of impacts on the surface, whether it be ancient ones, or younger ones, which have obscured the ancient Maria.
You are probably right.. But I don't dismiss the idea that life could have been more plentiful on the moon at one time... This life would have avoided the exposed side of the moon. If you look at the low small plains on the moon they looks like they were made by bacteria or fungus, like it is a blemishes on an apple. The old impacts that you are referring to that you say filled with lava are also concentrated on one side. So if one uses logic the scared up surface would not be the side facing toward the earth. It is the other side that is the side exposed to outside impacts... So your ideas of how these "dents" came into the moon is a bit curious... I would only surmise that if the outside of the moon was dented and then something turned the moon just enough to turn it completely around. I tend to think the dents are due to life that could survive because the moon's inner side was shielded from the sun.
When I look at the moon the dents look like they are a place where a huge deposit of life was present. It looked that way to me but that does not make it so... But I can also speculate... and I do not think there is one scientist that would argue with me that, life could have existed on the moon at some time in it's billion year old history... There may be unknown species of life that we cannot detect yet. Like rocks that are animals... There are animals in the deepest parts of the ocean that look exactly like ferns... animals can look like rocks too...
I am just saying it like I see it and I think the moon was "possibly" once inhabited by life that made these "trenches".
If you look at the picture of the moon look at the impact crater at the bottom. It is white a like a star and smaller. But the planes look like they were made by acid. These bacteria can digest rock and they excrete acids. They could theoretically survive on the moon but possibly only one side...
Yo mama!
Besides, he knows me well enough to know that I mean it as a joke.
