Millions upon millions of meteors. Every crater that you see on the Moon is the result of a fairly large asteroid impact.

And there are craters within craters within craters, down to a few feet across.

Oh, and the big plains, the "maria"? That's where TRULY ENORMOUS asteroids hit, and turned half of the Moon molten from the heat.
