NASA has released high-resolution images of a new lunar crater formed by a possible spacecraft impact event on June 27, 2023. When a spacecraft collides with the lunar surface, it generates a powerful shock wave that travels through the rocks and regolith. This shock wave compresses, disturbs, and fractures the surrounding area, resulting in the formation of a crater. The recently published footage includes two images captured before and after the impact, clearly illustrating the creation of the crater. The impact event can be explained by the laws of momentum and energy. The spacecraft's kinetic energy is transferred to the moon's surface upon impact, causing an explosion-like event and leading to the disturbance of the lunar regolith and the formation of the crater.
