The moon is 3,474 km in diameter. Getting hit by an asteroid 1,000 km in diameter would do a lot of damage, far more than leaving a crater. You’d think it would have blown the moon to bits. Of course, if they have the same density, then the object that hit the moon would have a mass (1,000/3,474)^3 or 2.4% of the moon’s mass.

"That's when the convention labeling east and west on lunar maps was reversed."
Never the twain shall meet, but they can change places. East identified as a transwest, and vice versa. All it takes is some corrective cosmetics and attire.

I would love to know what size telescope was used to photograph that image of the moon.
