Chinese Rocket Crash on Moon Reveals Mysterious Double Crater and Secret Payload

Last year, a mystery object crashed into the Moon, leaving behind a double crater. Scientists initially believed it was a defunct Chinese rocket, but new evidence confirms its identity. However, the findings also reveal that the rocket likely carried an unknown payload. The object was first detected by researchers at the University of Arizona and was later identified as a Chinese rocket booster. The team observed variations in the light reflected off the rocket, indicating its identity. The rocket's unusual movement suggested the presence of another object on board. The double crater left by the impact is unique and requires two roughly equal masses. The identity of the object presumed to have created the second crater remains unknown, and it may never be disclosed unless China chooses to reveal it.
