A year after its mission ended, a SpaceX Falcon rocket's upper stage fell back to the moon at 5,400 miles per hour, and NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has now given humanity a clear portrait of what that ending looked like. The resulting crater — 60 feet wide, ringed by dark and bright streaks like outstretched wings — is both a record of cosmic physics and a quiet reminder that nothing we send into space simply disappears. In the age of commercial lunar exploration, even the debris of progress leaves a mark worth studying.
