  225m for a hit where there’s no atmosphere to slow it down. I wonder if something that would cause a that size of crater on the moon would even make it to the Earth’s surface, or if it would burn up before it hit.

  Big moon trying to get more crater impacts so they can sell you on more big craters.

  Don’t worry! Asteroids cannot hit the same place twice!

  Or something…

  When I was a kid I thought that any asteroid hitting Earth was bad. Now I gotta ask “where is it going to impact” first.

    Asteroid impacts are a bit disturbingly common. It was only 8 years ago that one about twice as powerful as the nukes used on Japan hit earth. Smaller but still over a kiloton have hit in the last two years.

    A meteorite flashed into my backyard in Ohio. It was pretty cool?

      That was just last week right? I have a buddy in Cleveland who heard the sound of it breaking the speed barrier around 9am.

  Sneaky plan by “Big Moon Globes and Images”. All of the old globes, posters, and shirts have to be replaced, as we cannot learn with in-accurate images of the Moon. Three Wolves cannot howl at old images of the Moon!

  Seems like a great place for solar panels

    The issue with solar for stuff on the moon is that it’s night is very long compared to earth, so anything you power with it needs to be able to shut down (and also get very cold without powered heaters) without harm over that time, or have a comparatively large amount of energy storage. Unless you’re at one of a handful of spots at the poles where the sun almost never fully sets.

      Just put it on the light side if the moon - problem solved.
