3.5 Billion Years Old---Geologic Age of Finsen Crater on Farside of Moon Determined
The absolute model age (AMA), or geologic age of Finsen crater on the Moon’s farside is determined to be about 3.5 billion years (Ga) based on crater counting method, according to a research paper titled “Absolute model age of lunar Finsen crater and geologic implications” which was published online in the journal of Icarus. The research is conducted by the planetary mapping and remote sensing team led by Prof. DI Kaichang from the State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Sciences under the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
