      Yes, in terms of lunar geography 1 billion years is recent. Most lunar features formed 4 billion years ago.<p>Were the Winter Olympics recent? Not to the E. coli living in your gut.

        The <i>Late Heavy</i>, as I like go call it. Sounds like a Drum and Bass producer. Anyways:<p><i>The Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB), or lunar cataclysm, is a hypothesized astronomical event thought to have occurred approximately 4.1 to 3.8 billion years (Ga) ago,[1] at a time corresponding to the Neohadean and Eoarchean eras on Earth. According to the hypothesis, during this interval, a disproportionately large number of asteroids and comets collided into the terrestrial planets and their natural satellites in the inner Solar System, including Mercury, Venus, Earth (and the Moon) and Mars.[2] These came from both post-accretion and planetary instability-driven populations of impactors.[3] Although it has gained widespread credence,[4] definitive evidence remains elusive.</i><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Late_Heavy_Bombardment" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Late_Heavy_Bombardment</a>
