A photo from open sources
A meteorite that has fallen to the surface of our natural satellite in 2013, created a new crater. March 17, 2013 a meteorite fell on the lunar surface, which provoked the creation of a new 18-meter crater on the lunar surface. Scientists say that the explosion when a meteorite fell on the lunar surface on March 17 was clearly visible from Earth even with the naked eye.
A little later, a crater with a diameter of 18 meters was photographed lunar orbiter LRO. The photo is also visible fragments from a meteorite and lunar rocks that were released and were scattered a long distance around the newly formed crater.
After some research and calculations, scientists reported that a meteorite falling on the lunar surface on March 17, 2013 flew to to our natural satellite at a speed of at least 90,000 km / h
The new crater is located in the northern hemisphere of the moon in the region under the name “Sea of Rains” (Mare Imbrium) / Sea of Rains was formed as a result of lava flooding a large impact crater, formed as a result of the fall of a large meteorite or core comets in the early greek period about 3.85 billion years ago back.
As the lava fills, the bottom of the crater smoothed out, and formed a relatively flat surface with an area of 829 thousand square kilometers.
