A 222-meter-wide (728-foot) crater named McGetchin has been identified as the largest newly formed crater on the Moon, discovered in routine data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. [5] The feature measures roughly the length of two football fields. [5] Robert Wagner, an image processing specialist at Intuitive Machines, made the discovery while reviewing routine LRO data. [1] The impactor that created McGetchin was a comet or asteroid the size of a three-to-six-story building. [2] The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has identified at least 1,000 new craters and about 100,000 surface modifications associated with impacts during its more than 17-year mission. [3] LRO has orbited the Moon since 2009. [4]
