A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket stage will hit the Moon in the coming days
SMRTR summary
A SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage, left in orbit after a January 2025 lunar mission, is expected to crash into the Moon on August 5, 2026. Traveling at roughly 8,700 km/h, the 4,000-kilogram rocket stage could carve a 30-meter-wide crater upon impact. Skywatchers with telescopes in dark, clear areas may spot the flash, while the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter could capture the event directly.
