Most lunar meteorites are launched from the Moon by impacts making lunar craters of a few kilometers in diameter or less. [6] No source crater of lunar meteorites has been positively identified, although there is speculation that the highly anomalous lunar meteorite Sayh al Uhaymir 169 derives from the Lalande impact crater on the lunar ...
