South Korea's space agency has released images that show the Moon after part of a SpaceX rocket crashed into its surface on Wednesday.
The Korean AeroSpace Administration (KASA) said lunar orbiter Danubri captured images after the impact, which it shared alongside photos of what the Moon's surface looked like before the crash.
Rocket debris struck the Moon at around 06:35 GMT on Wednesday, according to the South Korean space agency.
SpaceX has said the impact was not intentional.

That’ll buff right out.
Tesla, barely used. Only driven by little old lady on the weekends.
Actually, this is probably a good thing. The rocket was destined to hit something, somewhere, sometime. At least now we know where it is.
It might have floated all the way to the Klingon empire and started an intergalactic war.

Don’t throw you trash in other people’s yard.
Didnt Obummer send a nuke to the moon ? lol , what a total nut job including his cult followers .. lame excuse for life I say
Alas, there weren't any satellites in position to record the impact, but there is at least one phony vid.
Gone and lost your little mind?
Yup.
.
‘Nuff said
I'd rather deal with the Cardassians. You can have a conversation with a Cardassian. The Klingons look like they smell.
Well put.
Spoken in my best Emily Litella voice
Who in their right mind would want to talk with those vapid dolts known only for being famous
What's that?!? Cardassians?
Never mind.
I took no shot at you or anyone cheap or otherwise. I’ll let you know if I do.
Nice chuckle. Thanks.
This was an important thing to follow. There is an underlying issue. A while back a booster crashed into the far side. Since there are satellites circling the moon this sort of stuff can be tracked. What was odd was that there were two new craters, not one. Hmmmm? That should only happen if a booster with two very large chunks of heavy crap were inside it: rocket nozzles at one and and ....... at the other.
The CCP was asked if that was theirs. Of course, they denied it being theirs as their booster crashed in the ocean. Hmmm. NASA checked their records and there could not have been any such crash.
So, two things are up for grabs. One, did the CCP booster have something weird in that booster? (e.g., a nuke). or, two, are all the worlds’ models on how craters form so much crappola?
