Original Note:
Earth is not "in the way". The moon is 238 855 miles from the Earth, meaning a gap of 238 855 miles for an asteroid to hit the moon and form a crater. https://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/topics/how-far-away-moon#:~:text=The%20average%20distance%20between%20the,km%20(238%20855%20miles). https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/moon-distance/en/ Asteroid hitting the moon as seen from the Earth; https://www.space.com/meteorite-impacts-moon-february-2023-video
