The spacecraft will impact the lunar surface at 5,400 mph with the force of three tons of TNT, creating a crater approximately 27 meters across and 5 meters deep. Scientists are eager to study the resulting dust and debris to understand the Moon's composition, with other spacecraft like Nasa's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter observing the event. The collision highlights the growing issue of space debris and marks the second accidental rocket crash on the Moon, following a Chinese spacecraft in 2022. This rare, observable impact provides valuable data for future lunar missions, helping scientists understand lunar dust behavior and potential risks to astronauts.
