The craters of the Moon have been well preserved through time and were once thought to have been the result of extreme volcanic activity, but are currently believed to have been formed by meteorites, nearly all of which took place in the first few hundred million years after the Moon formed.
In Apollo-era publications the feature is called D-caldera due to its shape, and at the time it was believed to be a unique feature on the moon. [1] [8] Two neighbouring features were named in 1976. They are the small craters Osama on Ina's southwestern edge and Dag to its northwest (both 400 m in diameter).

The crater Webb, as seen from Lunar Orbiter 1. Several smaller craters can be seen in and around Webb. Side view of the crater Moltke taken from Apollo 10. Lunar craters are impact craters on Earth's Moon. The Moon's surface has many craters, all of which were formed by impacts.

When we gaze up at the sky and look at the moon, we often assume she's got the same marks on her face that she's always had -- but we'd be wrong.
The volcanic field is named after the Lunar Crater vent, [3] the most distinctive vent in the volcanic field. [1] The area is dry and rugged and thus uninhabited. [4] Owing to its diverse geology and accessibility, Lunar Crater volcanic field was used to test prototype Mars rovers [5] and as a training ground for astronauts [6] for the Moon ...
The caldera is the enormous volcanic crater left from the last time Yellowstone experienced a giant eruption, 640,000 years ago. It covers an area about 30 by 45 miles.
