Introduction

A part of a SpaceX rocket will hit the Moon in August 2026.

Main Body

The rocket part is from a mission in January 2025. It is 13.8 meters long. The Earth, Moon, and Sun pulled the rocket. It will hit the Moon on August 5, 2026. Scientists want to watch this happen. They will use a special camera in space. They want to see how the Moon's dirt moves. This helps them learn about the Moon. Some people worry about space trash. There are too many old rockets in space. We need better rules to keep the Moon clean.

Conclusion

The rocket will hit the Moon soon. This gives us science data, but we need better rules for space trash.
