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.

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.

Alas, there weren't any satellites in position to record the impact, but there is at least one phony vid.

I'm not the off-beat billionaire who actually rocketed an automobile into space because it looked so cool in the old animated movie "Heavy Metal".

Are you a billionaire?
Nope.
Could you build a space/orbit going rocket if your life depended on it?
Nope.
You specialize in taking cheap shots at those who can....and do.

It might have floated all the way to the Klingon empire and started an intergalactic war.I'd rather deal with the Cardassians. You can have a conversation with a Cardassian. The Klingons look like they smell.

I'd rather deal with the Cardassians. 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.
