Meanwhile, on the Moon…
South Korean satellite captures before and after views of SpaceX rocket's moon crash
A South Korean lunar orbiter has returned before-and-after photographs of the spot where a stray SpaceX rocket stage slammed into the Moon on Wednesday, showing a fresh scar that was not there days earlier. It is the first time anyone has imaged a human-made impact site on another world this quickly after the fact.
Why this made the cut
- first close-up of a fresh human-made lunar crater
- space debris made suddenly visible
- before-and-after images of another world
