TLDR
A post says NASA scientists identified McGetchin, a lunar crater about 728 feet wide and 141 feet deep, by comparing images from before and after an impact between April 11 and May 22, 2024. It says researcher Robert Wagner noticed a bright pattern surrounded by a darker halo in October 2025. The impact reportedly disturbed soil extending about four miles around the crater, leaving it less able to retain heat at night.
