The lunar geological timescale (or selenological timescale ) divides the history of Earth 's Moon into five generally recognized periods: the Copernican , Eratosthenian , Imbrian ( Late and Early epochs), Nectarian , and Pre-Nectarian . The boundaries of this time scale are related to large impact events that have modified the lunar surface , changes in crater form that occur through time, and the size-frequency distribution of craters superposed on geological units.
