South Korea's space agency released images of the Moon after part of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket crashed on its surface. The debris, which was an unintentional impact, struck the Moon at around 06:35 GMT, creating a brief flash. The rocket stage, about the size of a five-story building and weighing approximately 4,000 kg, was from a January 2025 mission and was in orbit for 18 months before the collision. Scientists are analyzing the event, raising concerns about increasing space debris and crowded orbits.
