Poor old Moon really took a pounding. The early days of our solar system were not a nice place to be...

(interestingly, in my 1974 edition of the Observers book of Astromomy, SPM speculates on the origin of the cratering. The betting at that time was that it was primarily volcanic. Did we not know about the bombardment events of the eartly solar systems in those days? Presumably not.  Evidence that science does move forward quickly, even if it isn't always obvious. There are a few more anachronistic sentences in that book. Who was it who used to say "We just don't know..." - was it James Burke?).
