NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured images of a new crater on the Moon formed by a SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage impact on Aug. 5, 2026. The crater, about 60 feet wide and less than 10 feet deep, was imaged from different angles and lighting conditions to reveal unique features. The impact was not intentional and was caused by a combination of solar activity and gravity nudging the empty rocket onto a lunar collision path.
