Poor little moon. That must have smarted when it hit.

That’s quite a dent in the old generation ship.

Once again, real moons and satellites are made of rock and don’t reflect light all over creation like that. That thing is obviously metallic, obviously made of metallic strakes, and obviously artificial, some sort of a gigantic ancient space station.

No atmosphere, no burnup of ojects on the way in.

The end of life on Earth will involve something like this.

The end of Earth will take longer.

Ew. Looks like streaked bird poop.

I’m amazed by the large photo.
Resembles a snail to me. :)

I don’t know about you, but that looks like frozen water to me. If we could get there, we could probably live there. Just drill down into it and hollow it out, and take our oxygen-rich trees and plants with us. The Earth is one of the few rocks in the Solar System that has a molten core, don’t you know.

Looks like whatever hit it, hit it when it was already in a semi-molten state or whatever hit it was semi-molten.
Almost looks like molten lead or solder that was spread out.

Great pic thanks SC.

"...is less than 1/1000th Earth's gravity..."

In other words a bad case of flatulence could put you in orbit.
