LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) found a newly (well 2 years ago) formed crater on the moon, and it's the biggest one it's observed so far. It's 225m across and you'd expect less than one of those a century on the moon, so it got lucky!

Far Side of Moon Reveals Asymmetries, Puzzles

Scientists found the Moon's far side is colder and has fewer heat elements. This changes how we understand the Moon's history. Learn why.

The far side of the Moon is colder and has fewer heat-producing elements than the near side, scientists found. This is a big change from what we thought.
