In a rare event, the moon got a massive new crater A crater as wide as two American football fields formed in spring 2024, a size expected roughly once a century. A NASA orbiter got to watch.

An over-exposed phone pic of the moon (Waxing Gibbous 30/11/25) 🌔🌝

I'm one of those who can't resist pointing my phone towards that bright thing in the sky whenever I get the chance. Not a great pic, taken this Sunday just gone, but it does show the "Bay of Rainbows" quite nicely (for a phone), I think. It's the big crater towards the top 🌔 #mooncrater #moon

The moon's largest crater didn't form in the way we thought The impact that carved out the South Pole-Aitken basin on the moon appears to have come from the north, not the south as previously thought – and NASA’s upcoming mission could investigate further

A stunning, high-resolution composite image of the Moon, created from 29 near-terminator lunar strips captured by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The lack of a visible terminator highlights the long shadows, emphasizing the three-dimensional texture of the lunar surface. The image showcases the maria (darker, flatter regions) and numerous craters in exquisite detail.

A stunning view of the Copernicus crater on the Moon, captured by the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. The image showcases the crater's impressive size and the radiating rays of ejected material, a testament to a colossal impact nearly a billion years ago. The rough lunar surface surrounding the crater is also clearly visible.

Four crater cone incense burners, four #Amaco #glazes. Which one do you think will be your favorite? I hope I don't lose any #texture.

Se acerca San Valentín 💖

El Corazón de la Luna es una bella planicie coronada de perlas junto a los Montes Apenninus (entre Arquímedes y Rima Hadley - cuarto creciente.

Lo encontré en 2016 con el Dobson 16"
¡Es un amor!

But that's not all! Chandrayaan-3 also found signs of a massive meteorite impact that might have created the South Pole-Aitken basin, one of the largest craters in our solar system! ☄️
