A SpaceX rocket stage, drifting since January, finally slammed into the moon near Einstein Crater—marking the second known human-made impact on the lunar surface. Scientists are confident of the hit, even spotting a gas plume, and NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will soon confirm the crash site with photos. While not a threat to Earth, this accidental collision offers a rare chance to study how man-made objects alter the moon’s geology—critical for future astronaut missions.
