Whatever hit the Moon in March, it left this weird double crater

So, the double crater could just be from one end hitting the surface first and millisconds later the other end also landed, creating the second crater.

Likely the lighter top end hitting first with still the full mass of the rocket stage behind the impact creating the first crater. Then the body collapsing or breaking and the heavier motor end hitting the surface a short distance away creating the second.

Or it's from some transdimensional being getting bored watching a game of Brockian Ultra-Cricket and flicking peanuts into wormholes.
