A Giant Crater Appeared on the Moon — and No One Saw It Happen

A giant crater appeared on the Moon, but no one saw the impact happen. By comparing images taken at different times, researchers discovered the McGetchin crater — about 222 meters wide and 43 meters deep. The impact happened in 2024, yet its effects were only recognized later. And the crater itself was only part of the story: the collision also changed the surrounding lunar soil across a much larger area. This is a story about how even the Moon can change while no one is watching.
