Maybe this happens more often than we know and when this happens it doesn’t get the publicity that you’d expect these happenings to get.
We get hit a lot, I found a few when I was a kid, two where baseball sized, and magnetized, one iron pyrite my science teacher told me.
It is estimated that between 36 and 166 meteorites larger than 10 grams and less than 1 Kg fall to Earth for every million square kilometers of area. This accumulates to around 2900–7300 Kg of material every year

This is the largest hit we know of on the moon that hasn't got destroyed over time.
If the moon where hollow then you would see inside it, and likely through the other side if a moon where left.
In my opinion the hollow moon idea is bunk.

I would think maybe a slight hollow spot is inside every planet, and moon that cools down. k
As the core cools down it shrinks maybe leaving some hollowness inside.
Planets shrink also, but still some voids are likely.
I would think the moon would have an iron core like the earth does, and still partly liquid.
You have planets like Mercury likely dead with little to no liquid which has shrinkage.
I would think the core has shrunk away from the mantle in some way unless the planet has shrunk enough to keep contact.
Sorry speculating here, but I think that's what most scientist do on this stuff anyhow.
