NASA space probe finds a large new crater on the moon

A NASA spacecraft orbiting the moon has discovered a huge new crater on the lunar surface. Scientists report that the impact took place recently, leaving a distinct mark that stands out from older craters nearby. Researchers are currently studying data from the probe to figure out what caused the impact and to measure the exact size of the new hole. This fresh finding helps space agencies learn more about how often rocks from space hit the moon and how those impacts shape its surface over time. Experts will continue to track similar changes to protect future crewed missions and equipment sent to the moon.
