Most of the world’s large 6km+ craters have probably already been discovered, but scientists estimate that dozens of small craters above 1 km in diameter—and likely a few hundred smaller than 1km—have yet to be found.

One may witness craters that are either dry or have transformed into beautiful green lakes, steam rising from the cracks, and even latent volcanic activity in the form of bubbles and mud seeping through the volcanic craters.

Indeed, two pairs of unrelated but geographically close craters have already been found in Ukraine and Canada, but the ages of the craters in the pairs are different from one another.

Because impact craters accumulate at a nearly constant rate, counting the number of craters per unit area can be used to estimate the age of the surface.

Many of Titan's craters or probable craters display evidence of extensive erosion, and all show some indication of modification.

Most large craters have breached or incomplete rims, despite the fact that some craters on Titan have relatively more massive rims than those anywhere else in the Solar System.

The largest craters with diameters over 60 km can have central domes, which are thought to result from central tectonic uplift after an impact; examples include Doh and Hár craters.

These inter-crater plains appear to have obliterated many earlier craters, and show a general paucity of smaller craters below about 30 km in diameter.

Diminishing deformation outward from the center, a marginal syncline, and upturned beds on the periphery of the basin are also suggestive of meteor craters.

Dr Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford, said that the landers will attempt to explore "a perfect fossilised record of the Moon's history" at the bottom of lunar craters.
