However, subsequent claims claimed that the rocket in question belonged to China, and China denied these claims. Now, there has been a new development regarding this event.

However, this collision will take place on the dark side of the Moon. Therefore, space enthusiasts who observe the Moon with their telescopes will not be able to see the collision.
NASA will further investigate the collision with the Moon
*Estimated location of the area where the rocket will strike.
According to astronomers working for Scientific American, the collision will take place around Hertzsprung Crater, which has a diameter of 570 kilometers. Experts say that this will be the first unregistered collision on the Moon. However, it must be said that this will not be the last. Because the vacuum of space is becoming a little bigger garbage every day, and it is very possible that the number of similar events will increase.
Collision on the moon won’t be of much concern to space agencies. For the event that cannot be followed from Earth anyway, the usual program of spacecraft that examines or has the opportunity to examine the Moon will not be changed. In the statements made by NASA, it was stated that the collision would be investigated later…
