A hefty four-tonne piece from a SpaceX rocket has made its way to the moon, crashing after an eighteen-month journey in the cosmos. This second stage of the rocket hit the western limb at Einstein crater with considerable force. Currently, lunar satellites are on standby to document the impact and examine the debris. Meanwhile, conversations are underway between NASA and SpaceX to address the risk of future impacts.

A four-ton upper stage of a SpaceX rocket is believed to have hit the moon at 5,400 mph. The SpaceX rocket launched a pair of lunar landers last year, but the company's scientists say a combination of solar activity and gravity put it on a collision course with the moon. Geoff Bennett discussed larger concerns about lunar litter with science correspondent Miles O'Brien.

Unexpectedly, a four-ton SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket stage has collided with the Moon, exhibiting the increasing issue of space debris. After spending over a year in orbit, the remnants triggered observable spectral lines indicative of sodium and lithium gases upon impact. NASA, alongside South Korea, intends to photograph the resulting crater to understand the event better. This incident underscores the urgency of addressing space junk management and its proper disposal.
