A Japanese lunar lander crashed into the moon. NASA just found the evidence.

After a Japanese lunar lander crashed on the moon's surface, NASA has found debris confirming the craft's "hard landing." 

The Japanese lander, a privately-funded spacecraft called the HAKUTO-R Mission 1 lunar lander and launched by the company ispace, launched on Dec. 11, 2022, and was meant to land in the moon's Atlas crater on April 25. The ispace team said in a news release that the lander's descent speed had rapidly increased as it approached the moon. It then lost contact with Mission Control. 

"Based on this, it has been determined that there is a high probability that the lander eventually made a hard landing on the Moon's surface," ispace said.
