NASA has confirmed that an upper stage of a SpaceX rocket impacted the Moon near the Einstein crater on August 5, 2026, at 8,690 km/h. This event offers a unique scientific opportunity to study impact dynamics and space debris. South Korea's Danuri probe and NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter are involved in observing and photographing the impact site for further research.
