South Korean spacecraft photographs crater from SpaceX rocket collision on moon

A South Korean satellite has captured the first images of the moon crater created when a stray SpaceX rocket stage crashed there Wednesday. The Korea Aerospace Research Institute’s Danuri spacecraft photographed the impact site from lunar orbit, revealing a darker crater with scattered dust and rock. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will fly over next week. SpaceX launched Danuri in 2022. The Falcon 9 upper stage hit at 5,400 mph after solar activity and gravity altered its path.
