Massive New Crater Discovered on the Moon After Recent Asteroid Impact

A routine check of a Moon map has led to the discovery of a massive new crater measuring 222 metres wide. Scientists say this is the largest newly formed crater ever found in our solar system. The impact site was not there in spring 2024, proving the event happened recently. ## What It Looks Like The site shows up as a bright spot on the surface, and a dark halo rings the outside of it. Experts describe the find as a once-in-a-lifetime observation. The crater is so wide that it is bigger than the Roman Colosseum and spans more than the length of two football fields placed end to end. A NASA scientist made the discovery using images from a moon orbiter.
