Scientists say the space debris is colliding with the back of the moon away from the eyes of telescopes in space.
Washington:
Satellites and spacecraft launched by many countries around the world are orbiting as outdated space debris.
Scientists are concerned that such debris orbiting in space could pose a threat to Earth, making future space efforts even more difficult.
Last January, NASA announced that a spacecraft weighing about 3 tons would collide with the moon on March 4.
NASA first reported that the ‘booster’ on the top of the ‘Falcon 9’ rocket launched by the US SpaceX in 2015 was the first to collide with the moon.
Later, NASA announced that the rocket that hit the moon was not SpaceX, but the ‘booster’ of the rocket launched in 2014 by the Chinese Space Research Organization to collect samples from the moon.
But China denied it, saying “we do not have a rocket that hits the moon.”
In the midst of this chaos that space junk weighing 3 tons will collide with the moon tomorrow (Friday). It has a top speed of 9,300 km / h. Reports say there is a collision with the moon at speed.
At the same time, scientists have said that the space debris could collide with the back of the moon away from the eyes of telescopes in space, which could take weeks or even months to confirm the impact by satellite images.
Despite this, scientists say that this is not the first time space debris, including an abandoned rocket, has collided with the moon, and that the event is not expected to have any major effects.
9,300 km / h at the same time. The crash, which weighed 3 tonnes at speed, could cause a large crater 33 to 66 feet high on the moon, causing hundreds of kilometers from the moon. Scientists also say that dust can spread far and wide.
