NASA’s Moon orbiter finds a 728-foot crater that wasn’t there before

NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter discovered a 728-foot-wide crater formed on the Moon in 2024. This event represents the largest newly formed crater ever identified within the solar system, with such impacts occurring only once a century. The collision disturbed the lunar surface for several miles, creating a surprisingly large cold zone. This discovery demonstrates how a single impact can dramatically reshape the lunar landscape, providing critical data on the frequency and scale of lunar collisions.
