The Moon Grew a New Hole
Field-art of a once-in-a-lifetime divot. The Moon is not finished getting hit.
Smithsonian / Sci.News, Sep 18: LRO found the biggest newly formed lunar impact crater in the recent record. About 728 feet wide, 141 feet deep. The impact was 2024. An object the size of a multistory building. Two football fields, end to end, of missing Moon.
We talk about the Moon as a museum. This is a construction accident in the museum. The glass is not over the exhibit.
