On 3rd of January 2019, the Lunar probe Chang’E-4 landed at Von Kármán (VK) crater at South-Pole Aitken (SPA) crater. The transient cavity of SPA has been estimated at 840-1400 km, which implies that the SPA basin excavated through the Lunar’s crust and into the mantle. Due to that, the geology of t...
