Rare Once-In-132-Years Comet Impact Left Giant Moon Crater, NASA Shares Pic
The steep-sided hole - about 728 feet (222 meters) across and up to 141 feet (43 meters) deep - is the solar system's biggest known impact crater carved out in recent times.

NASA Releases Images Of Moon Crater Carved By Crashed SpaceX Rocket
Scientists from the US space agency determined the crater was 60-feet-wide (18 meters), and less than 10 feet deep, based on the length of its shadow.

Chandrayaan-3 Rover Discovers Ancient Moon Crater Older Than South Pole-Aitken Basin
Chandrayaan-3 has made a significant discovery by identifying an ancient crater on the moon, measuring 160 km in diameter. This crater is believed to be older than the South Pole-Aitken basin, one of the largest and oldest impact basins on the lunar surface. The data, collected by ISRO’s Pragyan rover and Vikram lander, offers valuable insights i...

Giant Asteroids Wiped out Life on Early Earth
Using a computer simulation model based on a moon crater, planetary scientists have revealed that early Earth is likely to have been hit by giant asteroids capable of killing off life and completely resurfacing the planet.
