Summary
The school-bus-size object is the second stage of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that had launched a lunar lander from Firefly Aerospace toward the moon in January 2025. The rocket piece is expected to hit Einstein Crater on the moon’s western limb, which is often difficult to see from Earth. A Chinese rocket stage crashed into the moon in March 2022 after completing a lunar test mission.
Furthermore, Among the Israeli lander’s payloads were tiny tardigrades, microscopic animals known for surviving radiation and other harsh environments and which may still be on the surface. New York U astronomers will be watching.
