A rocket part collided with the moon on this date at around 7:25am ET as predictions came true.

A new crater was seen on the surface of the moon thanks to the collision.

The crash wasn’t visible to humans, but the “rogue rocket” is said to have created a plume of dust that may have lingered “for hours”.

Lunar orbiters couldn’t see the rocket come down after it smashed into the moon on its far side.

Where did the rocket come from?

It was suggested the rocket could belong to China’s Chang’e 5-T1 mission, which was launched in late 2014.

However, The U.S. Space Command later confirmed that the Chinese rocket body “never de-orbited”.

They said: “We cannot confirm the country of origin of the rocket body that may impact the moon.”
