First Moon Crater Image Shows SpaceX Debris Impact

Images from Korea’s Danuri lunar orbiter capture a small crater on the Moon created by SpaceX’s Falcon 9 second stage. The site is only dozens of feet across and about 3.6 meters deep; the impact followed over a year in unstable orbit, with observations of sodium and lithium confirming the collision. Higher‑resolution views may come, but the crater will remain small relative to the Moon’s size, and observers note weather/timing hurdles for imaging.
