Previous analyses showed a clear asymmetry in the topography, geological material distribution, and crustal thickness between the nearside and farside of the Moon. Lunar detecting data, such as topography and gravity, have made it possible to interpret this hemisphere dichotomy. The high-resolution lunar topographic model CLTM-s01 has revealed that there still exist four unknown features, namely, quasi-impact basin Sternfeld-Lewis (20°S, 232°E), confirmed impact basin Fitzgerald-Jackson (25°N, 191°E), crater Wugang (13°N, 189°E) and volcanic deposited highland Yutu (14°N, 308°E). Furthermore, we analyzed and identified about eleven large-scale impact basins that have been proposed since 1994, and classified them according to their circular characteristics.
