Astronomers revealed that the “Falcon Nine” rocket launched by SpaceX into space in 2015, is on its way to hitting the moon on the fourth of next March.

NASA described what will happen as an interesting research opportunity, noting that it intends to monitor the crater formed, when the collision occurs, knowing that finding the crater will be difficult and may take weeks and perhaps months.

As part of an interplanetary mission, the missile was launched aiming to send data about space weather over a journey of one million miles, but it was subjected to a technical malfunction that made it rotate in space randomly for years, as a result of losing control of it.
