The 4,000-kilogram upper stage was on a trajectory towards the Moon due to a combination of solar activity and gravitational forces after its mission, and could not change course as it had dumped all its fuel. Scientists are keen to study the impact to better understand how collisions affect the Moon and the potential risks for future lunar missions and astronauts. The incident highlights growing concerns among experts about the increasing amount of space debris and the potential dangers it poses, such as colliding with important satellites. SpaceX and Nasa are discussing methods to prevent future lunar impacts, especially as Nasa plans to establish a lunar base and send routine astronaut missions to the Moon.
