S66-44887 (1 Aug. 1966) --- Single panel from micrometeorite package showing classic hypervelocity impact by micrometeorite particle. Crater is similar to that produced artificially on Earth and by particle impacts on the lunar surface. Particles travel very fast in space and are typically small in size. This impact crater is less than one millimeter in diameter. Photo credit: NASA
