Cafe Copernicus / Do you notice any patterns?

To me, it looks like there have been several periods of bombardment, at least in many areas. There are craters so worn down that they are almost invisible, and craters on top of those that are quite distinct, and then craters on top of those which look quite new. Another thing which I have been noticing are impact chains. Not crater chains, where the craters are interlinked, but impacts which appear to have happened in sequence. Sometimes, I see double craters, too, and not after I have been drinking! To me, it looks like a rock had split in two shortly before impacting.
One thing that disturbs me are the number of blank images, where the scanner did not have enough light, or something. I just hope that the areas which were missed on those passes got picked up on some other one.
