The impact, near the Einstein Crater, is anticipated to occur at 5,400mph, creating a new crater and a plume of dust. Scientists view it as a unique opportunity to study impact events and assess the hazard posed by debris to future astronauts. Nasa’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and South Korea’s Danuri orbiter are poised to capture before-and-after images of the crash site. This incident marks only the second known accidental rocket crash into the moon, following a Chinese rocket segment that created craters on the lunar far side in 2022.In fullA discarded SpaceX rocket is on a high-speed collision course with the moonMore bulletinsThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
