    Don't try to find it in the picture, folks. At that resolution the area of the crater would be less than two thousandths (2/1000) of a pixel if it were in the centre of the photograph.

    One of the first craters the orbiter spotted after it began its mission in 2009 was 70 meters wide, said Robinson, of Houston-based spaceflight company Intuitive Machines. “I used to joke with folks … that now the bar has been set, you have to find a 100-meter crater,” he said. “Now, lo and behold, we have 225 meters.”

    This quote sounds like something that should be posted to !dullsters@dullsters.net.

    We had a meteorite over Cleveland last week, and another over Houston that hit a house last week, and now a new crater on the moon. If we're lucky, another dinosaur-level asteroid will put us out of our misery.
