China's lunar probe pictures taken last week, left, and the 2005 NASA pictures, right. The extra hole in the Chinese pictures could suggest it was hit by an extra meteorite.

The angle of the shadows in the craters in the upper right of the photos indicate the two are NOT the same photograph or that the two were taken some time apart from one another, as the shadow angle has a 5-7 degree variation.

Good explanation of the "extra crater" HERE. The picture is NOT faked and they did NOT discover a new crater.

The China photos are not faked. The shadow angles are different between the two photos, and the resolution goes down towards the edges of the China photos (a common occurance in space optics — you can’t afford to send many “correcting” elements due to mass).
