NASA identifies largest newly formed lunar crater, 200m wide, named McGetchin

NASA has confirmed the discovery of a 200-meter-wide crater on the Moon, the largest newly formed crater observed in the solar system, named after lunar scientist Tom McGetchin. The crater's recent formation suggests an impact event, but the exact timing and implications for lunar geology remain uncertain. This finding advances understanding of impact processes and lunar surface dynamics.
