NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter captured images of a crater left by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket stage impact on the Moon. The crater, measuring approximately 60 feet across, was observed after a six-day wait to align the orbiter's position and lighting conditions. The impact provided scientists with a cross-section of the Moon's uppermost layers, and independent astronomers initially helped pinpoint the impact trajectory.
