On August 5, a piece of a SpaceX rocket crashed into the Moon. NASA just showed us exactly what it left behind. 🌕💥
A discarded Falcon 9 upper stage struck the lunar surface, and NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter captured detailed images of the aftermath — a fresh crater about 60 feet wide, with bright and dark streaks of debris scattered across the ground around it.
Key facts:
• Impact date: August 5, 2026
• Crater size: ~60 feet (18 meters) wide
• Imaged by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO)
