Three tonnes of space junk on a collision course with the moon

Three tonnes of space junk – the leftovers of a rocket – are about to crash into the moon, carving out a massive crater and sending dust flying across the barren, pockmarked surface.

Experts believe the debris will smash into the far side of the moon away from telescopes’ prying eyes on Friday at 9,300km/h (5,800mph). It may take weeks, even months, to confirm the impact through satellite images.
