A "mystery rocket body" that crashed into the moon is baffling NASA.
According to NASA, astronomers discovered a rocket body heading toward a lunar collision late last year. Impact occurred on March 4, and NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spotted the crash site on the moon's surface shortly after.
New images shared on June 24 by NASA show a snapshot of the site.
The crash landing left behind a "double crater" more than 90 feet wide, the space administration reported in a news release.
According to the space administration, two large masses on each end of the rocket may have caused the craters, but it noted that the impact marks are highly unusual.
