Like all major bodies on the solar system, the moon has been hit by many asteroids and comets. Most of the large impacts were when the solar system was young. Unlike some of the other worlds such as Earth, however, the moon has no geologic activity, no atmosphere, and no water to bury or wear down those craters.

Why are there so many craters on the moon?
The moon has many craters because it lacks an atmosphere to protect it from impacts by meteoroids and asteroids. When these space rocks collide with the moon's surface, they create craters that remain preserved due to the moon's inactive geological processes.
Who used a telescope to discover craters 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 caused the moon to have many craters?
Meteorites. They hit the moon frequently, causing many craters.
