South Pole-Aitken basin is the moon's oldest and largest visible crater, 4 billion years old .

Scientists thought that the crater was shaped like an oval or ellipse.

But a new study suggests that the impact may have been much more direct, leading to a much rounder crater.

This finding challenges our current understanding of moon 's history with significant implications for NASA 's future missions to the moon.
