ISRO’s Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter steers the Moon in a bold, ongoing survey; latest news links SpaceX debris to Moon, prompting US-led Moon plans.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage has struck the Moon near Einstein Crater at about 5,400 mph, carving a new crater and launching a dust plume. South Korea’s Danuri orbiter has photographed the site and released images. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is scheduled to image the impact next week while scientists begin analysing ejecta and crater formation.
