SpaceX rocket slammed into moon as planned, scientists say
A SpaceX rocket is believed to have collided with the moon near the Einstein Crater after drifting off course for a year. Scientists confirmed the impact indirectly through debris observed by a Chilean telescope, though no direct images were captured. The collision was accidental, caused by solar activity and gravity, and raises concerns about increasing space debris.
