Crater density and the relative ages of highlands and maria: One of the most important ways astronomers have learned about the moon, the history of the earth, and the history of the entire solar system is by ``crater counting,'' i.e.
For example, a crater at the center would be at a distance of 0, a crater halfway between the center and the limb would be at 0.5 and one right on the edge would be at 1.0.
