NASA has spotted a small new crater on the Moon that was likely caused by a Russian probe crash landing on the surface around two weeks ago.
that was likely caused by a Russian probe crash landing on the surface around two weeks ago.
The Luna-25 probe crashed on August 19, scuppering Russia's hopes of reviving its long dormant Moon program with the first ever soft landing on the lunar south pole. LRO, which has been in orbit over the Moon since 2009, took its most recent"before" image in June 2022. This was compared to an image taken on August 24, 2023.
"Since this new crater is close to the Luna 25 estimated impact point, the LRO team concludes it is likely to be from that mission, rather than a natural impactor," a NASA statement said.
