Moon Crash!

​Hello folks today we will talk about the past.
And it was on my mom's birthday. So if you will stay tuned!

On Friday, a mysterious thing crashed into the moon. And the reason, I say, thing is because we don't know exactly what it is. I might be part of a SpaceX rocket or it might be part of a Chinese space rocket. The crash happened on the back side of the moon that no one can see, but as I wrote about last week, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter which has been in space for years will be able to go to the back side of the moon and take pictures.

"The rocket crashed into the lunar surface in a crater named Hertzsprung that's a little larger than the state of Iowa," scientists said. That's a very big crater!

So maybe in a few days I'll be able to share some pictures with you all.

Is this the first time something has crashed into the moon? Nope!  In 2009, NASA crashed something called the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (Lcross) into the moon.  And surely there have been other things that have crashed into it too.
