A very big hole appeared on the Moon. It is a crater, a hole made by a crash. Scientists recently found it in pictures from NASA. A large space rock hit the ground years ago. The new crater is wider than a football field. It is also very deep. The crash sent rock and dust far away. Big crashes like this are very rare. (science.nasa.gov)
Think about dropping a ball into soft sand. The ball makes a small, round hole. A space rock does something like this. But it moves much faster. So, it can make a huge hole. The Moon looks quiet and still. However, it can change at any time.
