This is an image of the double crater formed due to the crash of a rocket upper stage on March 4, 2022.

The impact site was inside Hertzsprung Crater on the far side of the moon.

Early speculation held that it was likely the upper stage of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that launched the DSCOVR mission for NASA in 2015. Later, scientists concluded that the rocket body was probably part of the Long March 3 booster that launched China's Chang'e 5-T1 in 2014.
