NASA Images Confirm Crash Site of Russia's Failed Luna-25 Moon Lander

Russia's Luna-25 lunar lander crashed on the moon's surface, leaving behind a 33-foot-wide crater.
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter captured images of the suspected impact site near the lunar south pole.
The mission represented Russia's first attempt at a lunar landing in 47 years after its 1976 success.
The crash occurred before Luna-25 could enter a pre-landing orbit to explore the moon's polar region.
Shortly after, India succeeded in landing its Chandrayaan-3 rover on the sought-after lunar south pole.
