ScienceFour-tonne SpaceX rocket piece believed to have crashed on Moon

A four-tonne component from a SpaceX rocket is believed to have unintentionally struck the Moon on August 5. The impact posed no threat to Earth, but it is expected to create a crater on the lunar surface. Officials have not yet confirmed that the Falcon 9 upper stage made contact with the Moon. The collision had nevertheless been anticipated at about 06:35 GMT.
