A mysterious rocket has crashed on the Moon and created double craters on the Moon. NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has taken some images of the crash site on the Earth's natural satellite.

The mysterious rocket was spotted toward a lunar collision during late last year and the impact occurred on 4th March.

The rocket has left behind a double crater on the surface of the moon and it has puzzled the scientists. The photos released by NASA show the craters made by the rocket when it crashed into the far side of the Moon travelling at the speed of 5,770 mph.

To date, 47 NASA rockets have crashed into the moon but the double crater has been unexpected. The scientists mistook the mysterious rocket for the part of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. But actually, it is a part of China's Chang'e 5-T1 mission launched by the Long March 3C rocket in 2014.

Though the scientists were unable to observe the craters directly, the observations and the pictures taken by LRO show two indentations on the lunar surface. The eastern crater measures 59 feet wide while the western crater measures 52.5 feet across.

Scientists are still analysing how were the two craters created. Maybe, they were formed by a piece of debris, though it is unusual activity as stated by NASA.
