I think the reason there are more craters on the far side of the moon is because a lot of asteroids hit it at the same time, from the same direction, instead of many single asteroid strikes over millions of years. I think it is evidence of one major catastrophic event.

NASA sent out two spacecraft yesterday to orbit around the moon to try to answer some age old questions. One question they hope to solve is why is the far side of the moon so different than the near side?
The side of the moon that faces Earth is flat and mostly smooth. The other side is filled with craters from asteroid strikes. One theory is the earth helped protect it from asteroid strikes on the side that faces us. I'm sure that has happened to some extent but the difference is so dramatic I think it has to be something else.


Elmer's Theory About Everything

I think the reason there are more craters on the far side of the moon is because a lot of asteroids hit it at the same time, from the same direction, instead of many single asteroid strikes over millions of years. I think it is evidence of one major catastrophic event.

If the asteroid strikes were spread out over millions of years at random times from different directions you'd would get a completely different crater pattern. The moon would always be in a different position depending on the time of the year and time of day.
This is probably the same catastrophic event that caused the great flood approximately 4,400 years ago. The theory goes that a large comet made of ice passed very close to the earth and chunks of the tail hit the moon and the earth and probably Mars and Mercury (which is why there are traces of water on those planets). Instead of the us protecting the moon it looks like the moon may have protected us.
But it still changed the earth dramatically, it caused the earth to tilt on axis by 22 degrees it may have lengthened our solar year from 260 days to 365, either by speeding up our rotation or lengthening our orbit or both. It also caused the Great Flood and instantly created the North and South Poles. This would explain herds of Woolly Mammoths with tropical vegetation still in their mouths found frozen in the ice in both the Arctic and Antarctic. It didn't happen gradually it happened in one giant cataclysmic event and we have been slowly thawing out ever since.
