SpaceX rocket's moon crash highlights 'a tangible operational risk' of lunar settlement
The moon dust has settled after a 4.5-ton SpaceX rocket body slammed into terrain near Einstein Crater on Aug. 5.That impact site was imaged by South Korea's moon-orbiting Danuri spacecraft, as well as by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). Reportedly, a Chinese commercial space debris monitoring satellite tracked and recorded the 5,400-mph (8,690-kph) moon punch, too.Wandering through space for over a year, the leftover Falcon 9 upper st…
A SpaceX rocket rocket hit the moon at about 8,690 km/h. A scientific video has now been released about it, and it has also shed light on an important question.
Bosscha ITB researcher explained that the Perseid Meteor Shower originates from the remaining material of Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle that burned up in Earth's atmosphere. |The main challenge in observing meteor showers is urban light pollution (skyglow) which reduces the visibility of night sky objects. |Besides disrupting astronomical and ecosystem observations, meteorites have important scientific value in revealing the early history of the solar…
Slam-Bang! Implications of SpaceX Rocket Stage Hitting the Moon
The lunar dust and turf have settled after a multi-ton SpaceX upper stage slam-banged into terrain near Einstein Crater on August 5. That impact site was imaged by South Korea’s Moon-orbiting Danuri spacecraft, as well as by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). Reportedly, a Chinese commercial space debris monitoring satellite tracked and recorded the Moon […]
