SpaceX rocket stage creates a new crater on the Moon
A spent upper stage from a SpaceX Falcon rocket crashed into the lunar surface on August 5. The collision occurred because the orbits of the two objects intersected. According to NASA, the object—weighing approximately 4,000 kg—struck the visible side of the Moon near the Einstein crater at a speed of nearly 9,000 km/h. On August 11-12, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured images of the impact site from an altitude of 96 km. Using nar…
NASA images reveal 60-foot-wide crater on moon left by SpaceX rocket
The moon officially has a new crater. On August 5 the upper stage of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket smacked into the face of our natural satellite at an estimated 5,400 miles an hour—several times the speed of sound. Astronomers predicted the crash would cause a plume of debris to rise up from the moon, leaving a crater behind for posterity. And now we can see the damage for ourselves. On August 11 and 12 NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spot…
