Space Rock Impact on the Moon Explained A space rock was captured hitting the Moon. Unlike Earth, the Moon has no atmosphere, so meteors and asteroids don’t burn up before impact. They crash directly at incredible speed, leaving behind craters that last for billions of years. This is why the Moon looks full of dots and marks when we see it from Earth — every spot is a scar from an ancient cosmic impact. 🌌👀 #space #SpaceX #NASA #fblifestyle | Moon Watchers Club
