- A SpaceX rocket was on a collision course with the moon. Here’s what to know
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket's upper stage is expected to crash into the moon after launching two lunar landers in January 2025. Scientists confirm the impact poses no danger to Earth but could create a 65-90 foot crater on the moon's surface. The event is being observed for scientific purposes, though it is unlikely to be visible from Earth.
