Luna-25's Crash Creates Fresh Moon Crater
Russia's lunar lander Luna-25 unexpectedly crashed during descent, failing to soft land at the Moon's South Pole. NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) team discovered a fresh crater approximately 10 meters in diameter, located roughly 400 kilometers from Luna-25's planned landing site. The crater is likely the result of the crash, marking Russia's first lunar mission in half a century.
