Scientific paper

Basic age dating of the mare in the crater Tsiolkovsky on the lunar far side is summarized. The cumulative crater frequency relative to crater diameter distribution is obtained for the mare using the Apollo 15 panoramic camera photographs. Comparison of the distribution with plots for the maria at Apollo 11, 12, and 15 landing sites show that Tsiolkovsky mare is 3.51 + or - 10 to the 9th yr old. It is concluded that the processes producing the vast basalt outpourings on the moon's face apply for the far side as well, and that there is a linking factor for the whole moon.
