A chunk of a SpaceX rocket that blasted off seven years ago and was abandoned in space after completing its mission will crash into the Moon in March, experts have said
The rocket was employed in 2015 to put in orbit a NASA satellite called the Deep Space Climate Observatory.
A week after the rocket stage whizzed close to the Moon, Mr Gray detected it again and concluded it will actually crash into the satellite's dark side on 4 March. "I've been tracking junk of this sort for about 15 years. And this is the first unintentional lunar impact that we've had," Mr Gray said.
