Young crater sited on Moon - Last month, word arrived that JPL researchers had identified a crater that is not so old at all.
In 1953 an amateur astronomer - a strolling astronomer, in fact -- noted a flash point on the Moon, and marked the location. But evidential confirmation of related crater residue was not immediately forthcoming. It was thought to be an asteroid hit, but it was too small to be identified by earth telescopes. Time passed, and now JPL scientists have correlated the site of the flash to 1960s and 1970s spacecraft observations of the Moon's surface. The Rest of the Story. |
