Discarded rocket part to hit Moon in hours
A discarded part of a rocket is hours away from crashing into the Moon, say scientists who first predicted the collision in January.
The three-tonne rocket part, which is hurtling through space at 5,800mph, is expected to hit at 12:25 on Friday.
The effects of the impact on the Moon are expected to be minor. Scientists hope to study the 10-20m-wide crater and the plumes of moon dust created upon impact.
