Un crater uriaș a apărut pe Lună: NASA spune că este o descoperire „o dată la un secol”

A massive new crater named "McGetchin" has been discovered on the Moon, marking a rare event occurring only once a century. This crater, measuring 222 meters in diameter, was formed by the impact of a building-sized object in spring 2024. The discovery was made using images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been studying the Moon since 2009. The crater appears as a bright spot surrounded by a dark halo, providing researchers with valuable insights into the Moon's geology. The increased interest in lunar studies has been fueled by recent NASA missions, including stunning images of Earth from behind the Moon.
