Space junk on 9,300-kph collision course with moon
13 Sept 19:17 Key points summarised by AI
- A three-ton piece of space junk will impact the moon's far side at 9,300 kph on Friday, expected to carve a 10-20 meter crater.
- Initially misidentified, experts now attribute the object to a Chinese Long March rocket stage from a 2014 lunar mission, despite China's denial.
- The collision, occurring out of direct telescope view, underscores the significant challenge of tracking deep-space debris and the absence of a dedicated official database.
