Unexpectedly, a four-ton SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket stage has collided with the Moon, exhibiting the increasing issue of space debris. After spending over a year in orbit, the remnants triggered observable spectral lines indicative of sodium and lithium gases upon impact. NASA, alongside South Korea, intends to photograph the resulting crater to understand the event better. This incident underscores the urgency of addressing space junk management and its proper disposal.
