Lunar impacts refer to the study of the processes and effects of impacts on the Moon's surface. This research area examines the formation, characteristics, and consequences of impact craters on the lunar landscape. Scientists study the impact craters to understand the history of the Moon's surface, the frequency and size of impact events, and their potential implications for planetary science and astrobiology. By studying lunar impacts, researchers can also gain insights into the formation and evolution of other planetary bodies in our solar system.
