LUNAR DISCOVERY: NASA Finds Crater Bigger Than Roman Colosseum...
New York PostSeptember 17, 2026
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spotted a previously unknown crater on the moon, one large enough to dwarf Rome's ancient amphitheater. The discovery adds to our understanding of the moon's geological history, as impact craters reveal information about the bombardment patterns that have shaped the lunar surface over billions of years. While new moon craters are regularly identified through orbital imagery, each find helps scientists map the timeline of cosmic collisions and assess potential hazards for future human missions.
