NASA Orbiter Identifies Moon's Largest Recent Impact Crater

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has detected a new impact crater on the Moon, measuring 728 feet wide and 141 feet deep. Formed in May 2024, this is the largest known recent lunar impact crater, remaining undetected for nearly two years. The discovery offers scientists a unique opportunity to study the immediate consequences of a major lunar impact and the scattering of lunar material.
