The Moon gets smacked
I'm surprised this hasn't been news before now, but back in September (September, um, 11, in fact, otherwise known as 9/11), the Moon got hit with a big rock. So big that the flash lasted eight seconds.
I guess the reason we're just hearing about this is that it has just been scientifically reported.
'Biggest observed meteorite impact' hits Moon (with the discovery picture)
I sincerely hope that NASA has tasked the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to find the new impact crater. Hey, they just found a really new Mars crater, didn't they?
