A Moonbound Collision Course: SpaceX's Unintended Visitor As the world continues to gaze up at the night sky, mesmerized by the growing number of satellites and spacecraft orbiting our planet, a more mundane yet equally fascinating development has been unfolding.

The collision is set to occur near Einstein Crater on the moon's sunlit western limb at an astonishing speed of 5,400 miles per hour.
