I think it was Galileo. Not too sure if he new he was looking at craters though.
The Ancient Greeks were the first to view the moon.
The Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei was the first to observe that the moon had craters. He made this discovery in 1609 through his telescope.
The large indentation on the surface of the moon areÊcalled craters. It is a circular depression in the surface of the moon and other solid body in the solar system.Ê

Galileo was the first scientist to see the features of the moon. He did this in 1609 by using an early version of the telescope. Galileo was able to make out some of the pits and mountains on the moon.
Many of the larger craters on the moon can be seen from earth without a telescope, so nobody discovered craters on the moon with a telescope.
What is there to study but craters...

The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.

No. The craters on the moon do not affect its gravity.
