The geology of the moon (aka. selenology) is quite different from that of Earth. Since the moon lacks a significant atmosphere, it does not experience weather – hence there is no wind erosion.

But this week, scientists released one of the most detailed maps of the moon ever created. The new map, born out of the United States Geological Survey (USGS), combines six other static, geologic ...
