South Korea's Lunar Probe Captures Pre- And Post-Impact Images

South Korea’s lunar probe, Danuri, will observe the collision of a SpaceX rocket upper stage with the Moon, capturing pre- and post-impact images to study crater formation. The collision is expected to create a small crater near Einstein Crater, and Danuri will adjust its orbit to pass over the impact site three times. The observation data will be made public after analysis and utilized in NASA’s lunar orbiter observation plans and international collaborative research, as reported by Unknown Source.
