Piece of SpaceX rocket believed to have crashed into the moon
A discarded second stage of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket was expected to crash into the Moon early Wednesday after drifting in space since a January 2025 lunar mission. The 4-tonne rocket body, travelling at about 8,690 kmph, was projected to strike the Moon's Einstein Crater, though confirmation of the impact was expected only after scientists analysed telescope images.
