Who'd have thought that a pair of satellites circling 50km above the moon could make stunningly beautiful evidence of raining meteors that pock marked and sculpted the moons ancient surface. Red signifies increased mass, while blue shows mass missing in that area.

Read more in BBC news here. Imagine that for the first billion years of planet earths existence, the surface was pummeled with such meteor showers, like millions of nuclear weapons detonating all over. however, subsequently, tectonic plate movements have largely healed all these wounds, but we still have the mass material residue in the heritage of the planet's violent history. amazing the life did not get vaporized in the process!
