A piece of space debris is believed to have crashed into the far-side of the moon on Friday, just before 7:26 a.m. EST, according to an analysis of its trajectory.
It was expected to create a 65-ft wide crater, but this hasn't been confirmed yet as it cannot be viewed with Earth-based telescopes.
Near-Earth space contains lots of dangerous junk, which must be cleaned up and regulated. The US, Russia, and China need to tackle this together.
Space junk is an issue, but this collision has a benefit! Astronomers will get a rare glimpse into what lies just below the lunar surface now that the wayward rocket has crashed.
