Impact on the Moon seen from primitive Earth - Asteroid Impact on the Moon seen from primitive Earth: An asteroid hits the Moon forming one of the largest impact crateres of the solar system, the Aitken Basin, at the southern pole of the Moon (2500 km in diameter, 13 km in depth). The date of this impact is uncertain, probably just over three billion years ago. On Earth, the first algae grow - An asteroid impact, perhaps the largest endured by the moon since the little splat, created the South Pole Aitkens Basin, one of the largest impact structures in the solar system. The date of the impact is uncertain: it might have occurred only a little over 3 billion years ago. If so, from the earth - where primitive algae would have been the only witness - the impact would have been an impressive sight
