A piece of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket is projected to collide with the Moon in August, according to an astronomy software developer. The upper stage of the rocket is expected to travel at speeds exceeding that of sound as it approaches the lunar surface. This event marks an unintentional landing, distinguishing it from typical space debris that usually re-enters Earth's atmosphere. The trajectory and speed of the Falcon 9 upper stage have been calculated using specialized astronomical software.
