Researchers predicted that the section of rocket, the upper part of a Falcon 9 spacecraft, would make impact with the lunar surface at 2.35 am Eastern Time. The full spacecraft left Florida in January 2025, loaded with two lunar landers. The rocket section split off and began drifting in space, before being pulled towards the moon. It is the size of a five-story building, with a weight on Earth of at least 4,000kg, around the same weight as a heavy-duty pickup truck. The other bit is designed to return to Earth. NASA spokesperson Jimi Russel said there was \u201cno danger to Earth,\u201d but Matt Bothwell, astronomer at the University of Cambridge, said that while there was no immediate risk, the disused fragment is helping to crowd space with junk. \u201cIt could feasibly be within a few decades hard to get past Earth\u2019s orbit because space is so crowded. It\u2019s called space debris, and we should absolutely worry about it,\u201d he told the BBC. Other scientists are plugging the collision as a chance to \u201ccollect lunar data.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5128\">I Know Why Smacked-Down Trump Squeals About Ballroom: Author<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read it at <span>BBC News<\/span><\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A part of one of Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX rockets is believed to have smashed into the moon at 5,400 MPH.
