Lunar orbiter spots ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ new crater on the moon
NASA scientists discovered a massive new crater on the moon caused by a comet or asteroid impact that occurred about two years ago. The crater is larger than the Roman Colosseum and was initially missed before being spotted by a lunar orbiter. The discovery is considered a rare event, with scientists describing it as a "once-in-a-lifetime" finding.
