Earth's closest astronomical neighbor, the Moon, is still not fully
understood. The side facing us is covered with large round features,
currently explained as the remnants of an early period of massive
bombardment which later filled up with wide-ranging lakes of magma.
Yet, it is a proven fact that such large scale lava infilling is a
physical impossibility. Also intriguing is the presence of
magnetospheres, located on the exact opposite side of several round
features. How can magnetic poles possibly be created by impacts? It
makes as much sense as the probability of such a massive bombardment
period in the first place -- that is, none.

There is no sense in the current explanation for our nearest, and most
memorable, astronomical feature -- the Man in the Moon...

Oh yes?  Proven by whom?  Cites please.

And your sources for this analysis are?

Methinks you've been reading from the wrong
(i.e. crackpot) sources.
