Piece of SpaceX rocket on course to hit the moon
Original: A piece of a SpaceX rocket is about to hit the moon
A spent stage from a SpaceX rocket is on a collision course with the moon and expected to impact its far side in the coming days. The object has been drifting through space for years and cannot be steered. Scientists say the crash should throw up a plume of debris that telescopes may be able to observe, offering a rare chance to study the lunar subsurface.
Why now: The upcoming lunar impact is an unusual and visually striking space event attracting broad attention.
