Is 'Man in the Moon' the Face of Ancient Impact?

Kaboom! Ancient collision scarred moon to its core. Ohio State University planetary scientists have found the remains of ancient lunar impacts that may have helped create the surface feature commonly called the "man in the moon." Their study suggests that a large object hit the far side of the moon and sent a shock wave through the moon's core and all the way to the Earth-facing side. The crust recoiled -- and the moon bears the scars from that encounter even today. [Science Blog -]
