Numerical modeling of the formation and structure of the Orientale impact basin

The Orientale impact basin is the youngest and best‐preserved lunar multi‐ring basin and has, thus, been the focus of studies investigating basin‐forming processes and final structures. A consensus about how multi‐ring basins form, however, remains elusive. Here we numerically model the Orientale ba...
