On February 3, 1966 the Soviet Union’s Luna 9 spacecraft made the first successful soft landing on the Moon, and the United States launched its first operational weather satellite ESSA-1. Both were instrumental in the continuing exploration of outer space by both countries, and now, forty-three years later, by many countries on Earth.

The researchers say this change probably happened when an impact changed the Moon’s rotation. Did this really happen, or was it caused by space aliens?
