Is it true that Uranus always gets hit by asteroids from behind?
Seriously, why is it that we never see any big asteroid collision with the moon?

The moon is about 1/4 the size of the earth so I suspect the chances of impact would be about 1/4 less than the chances of a bigun hitting us.

We saw a big collision on Jupiter a couple years ago. These things don't just happen every few months or so. Wadya want, egg in yer beer?
