A routine quality check on a Moon map turned up a bright spot ringed by a dark halo, and it marked a 222-metre crater that did not exist before spring 2024, the largest newly formed crater yet found anywhere in the solar system - spacedaily.com

Citizen scientists revived NASA’s long-retired ISEE-3 probe in 2014 and fired its thrusters for the first time in 27 years, restoring its spin—but the larger burn meant to return it to an Earth–Sun observation point failed because the nitrogen needed to pressurize it - Space Daily

Methone, a moon of Saturn only about three kilometres across, has no observed craters larger than 130 metres: its porous icy surface may slowly shift and erase impact scars, while Saturn’s tides and the moon’s rotation mould it into a smooth, egg-like shape. - Space Daily
