What Happened
First Images Of Lunar Impact Site Released By Korea Aerospace Research Institute
A South Korean satellite has captured the first images of the moon’s surface after a SpaceX rocket segment collided with it. The Korea Aerospace Research Institute’s Danuri spacecraft flew over the impact site, providing before-and-after views of the crash. The terrain is noticeably darker where the rocket hit, with a crater and debris visible. NASA expects its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to fly over the crash site next week to view the aftermath. This incident was first reported by Houston Public Media.
