A South Korean satellite has captured the first pictures of the moon’s fresh crash scene. The Danuri spacecraft flew over the impact site soon after a SpaceX rocket inadvertently plowed into the moon Wednesday. Danuri made multiple passes from lunar orbit. The terrain is noticeably darker where the rocket hit and carved out a crater. The Korea Aerospace Research Institute released the photos Thursday. NASA expects its lunar orbiter to fly over the crash site next week. The stray rocket was placed on an accidental collision course with the moon after launching a pair of private lunar landers last year.
