China's Chang'e-6 mission landed on the moon’s South Pole-Aitken Basin, according to the China National Space Administration ...

The South Pole-Aitken Basin, an impact crater created more than four billion years ago, is 13 kilometres deep and has a diameter of 2,500 kilometres, according to a report by China’s Xinhua News ...

China’s Chang’e-6 lunar lander successfully touched down on the far side of the moon Sunday morning Beijing time, in a significant step for the ambitious mission that could advance the country’s ...

The South Pole-Aitken basin has a very slight elongation, which suggests an oblique impact, rather than a head-on collision, from its parent collider. At its northern edge lies a pool of material ...

The South Pole-Aitken Basin, for example, resulted from a major impact that exposed lunar mantle materials. Water distribution may be influenced by these geological processes.

On the far side of the moon is the South Pole-Aitken Basin — a giant hole 1,550 miles (2,500 km) wide and 8 miles (13 km) deep. Scientists are still scratching their heads over how it formed.
