NASA Finds Large Moon Crater After Two Years
NASA has discovered a massive lunar crater measuring 728 feet in diameter and 141 feet deep, caused by a powerful impact that occurred between April and May 2024, when a fragment of an asteroid or comet the size of a building collided with the Moon. This event is considered one of the largest recent impact craters in the solar system, and such an event is estimated to occur rarely—about once every 132 years—making it a significant discovery as NASA prepares to establish a base on the lunar surface. The impact was not observed at the moment it happened through telescopes, but the crater was confirmed through multiple imaging analyses.
