Piece of SpaceX rocket to crash into moon at high speed

A piece of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is on a trajectory to impact the moon at high speed on Wednesday morning. The school bus-sized object, which is the rocket's second stage, has been floating in space since January 2025.

The second stage was left in space after launching a lunar lander for Firefly Aerospace toward the moon. The impending collision marks a notable event involving space debris originating from commercial lunar exploration missions.
