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!

📸 Lunar Farside
From lunar orbit, we can view the Moon's rugged farside. This sharp mosaic, made from over 15,000 images by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, reveals a surface very different from the smooth nearside.

Wait for the rush to get more seismic recorders up there! A thump as hard as this will bounce around inside the moon for years. To be followed by investigations of the brand new crater.
