A rather interesting event is set to take place on August 5—one that might even be visible through telescopes: the second stage of a Falcon 9 rocket will crash into the Moon.

As a reminder, the stage has been in space since January 2025, when it was used in the launch mission for the Blue Ghost and Hakuto-R spacecraft.

❗️The stage is scheduled to impact on August 5 at 06:35 UTC. The impact site is near the Einstein crater, located on the lunar near side close to the northwestern limb.
The impact is expected to create a crater 20 to 30 meters in diameter
