SpaceX rocket impacts moon NASA images
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter captured images of a 60-foot-wide, 10-foot-deep crater on the moon caused by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket part that crashed on August 5. The upper-stage of the rocket, used in a mission to launch a lunar lander, was left in orbit after fueling issues and drifted uncontrollably toward the moon due to solar activity and gravity. The crash site was identified after days of search, with images revealing the crater’s extent, marking the first visual confirmation of the impact.
