The Luna 2 probe created a crater when it touched down on the moon between the lunar regions of Mare Imbrium and Mare Serenitatis, according to NASA.

That pivotal, lunar dust-stirring moment signaled the beginning of humanity s endeavors to explore the moon, and some scientists now suggest it was also the start of a new geological epoch or period of time in history called the Lunar Anthropocene, according to a comment paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience on December 8.
