In the images recorded by NASA’s robotic spacecraft Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) on May 25, it was observed that a giant crater was formed as a result of the rocket hitting the Moon.
THE OBJECT THAT HAS STRIKE THE MOON WEIGHT 4 TONS
It was shared that the crater is on the far side of the Moon, near the Hertzsprung crater in the western region and is about 28 meters in diameter. While scientists stated that the giant crater in question was divided into two as east and west, NASA stated that the rocket that hit the Moon still remained unclear.
Mark Robinson of Arizona State University noted that the object that hit the Moon weighed about 4 tons and was traveling at a speed of 9,173 kilometers per hour before hitting it. Robinson evaluated the double crater observation that there may be large masses at both ends of the rocket. (AA)
