New 222-meter crater found on the Moon
NASA has discovered a recently formed crater on the Moon's surface, approximately 222 meters in diameter. It was formed in spring 2024 as a result of a collision with a large object from a comet or asteroid. Such an event is estimated to occur once every century or more. This crater, known as "MacGitchin," is the largest recent crater discovered in the solar system so far. Studying it helps us better understand the Moon's geology, thereby enhancing preparations for future crewed missions.
