Scientists spot a new crater on the Moon

A crater 728 feet wide formed on the Moon between April and May 2024, the largest fresh one ever found. A comet or asteroid roughly the height of a three to six story building made it, and a NASA scientist spotted it in Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter images on Oct. 24, 2025. It is named McGetchin, and it is a reminder that the Moon you scan with binoculars is still being hit today.
