Natural Bridge on the Moon

In Aug. 2010, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) revealed a natural bridge found in the moon’s King crater. The bridge is about 23 feet (7 meters) wide on top and approximately 30 feet (9 meters) on the bottom side. It would be a 66-foot (20-meter) walk to cross from one side to the other. This finding demonstrated that even after decades of lunar science and exploration, there is still a lot to learn about our extraordinary moon.
