What a fascinating and educational image. It's also very interesting to compare it to the black & white image titled 'Lunar Farside' that is the APOD of 2011 April 9.

The key word here is
one of the largest crater basin!
Should it be "one of very large crater, or one of the largest known craters"?

Yes...but the near side is much less dramatic:
