The final resting place of Russia's failed Luna-25 lunar lander has apparently been found.

Luna-25, Russia's first moon probe in 47 years, smashed into the lunar surface on Aug. 19, during a maneuver designed to set up its touchdown try a few days later.

The crash blasted out a new 33 feet (10 meters) wide crater, which NASA's sharp-eyed Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) likely found last week, agency officials said.
