摘要
The impact site of the European Space Agency SMART-1 lunar orbiter was identified in Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Camera (LROC) images. No pre-impact image of adequate resolution is available for confirmation, but the form of the impact feature and its ejecta, its proximity to the expected location and the absence of any other obvious candidate in the vicinity make the identification compelling.
