Lunar impact research focuses on studying the impact craters on the Moon, which are formed when celestial bodies such as asteroids, comets, and meteoroids collide with its surface. Scientists study the size, shape, distribution, and formation of these impact craters to better understand the history and geology of the Moon, as well as the impact processes that occur in our solar system. This research area provides valuable insights into the history of lunar bombardment and its implications for the evolution of the Moon and other planetary bodies.
