SPACEX ROCKET BOOSTER SLAMS INTO MOON, EXPECTED TO LEAVE LARGE CRATER

A booster from a SpaceX launch has struck the Moon, according to a report from Home - CBSNews.com. The impact, which was not visible to the naked eye, is expected to create a large crater on the lunar surface.

The fragment, weighing approximately four tonnes, crashed into the Moon sometime after its launch, as reported by France 24. NASA said it will attempt to observe the impact from orbit using its lunar satellite to capture images, while Ynetnews described the event as an "out‑of‑control" crash that will leave a new crater.
