Elon Musk rocket towards the course to crash into the Moon

A rocket launched by Elon Musk space exploration company is about to crash into the moon and explode.

The Falcon 9 was launched in 2015, but after completing its mission, it did not have enough fuel to return to Earth and instead remained in space.

Astronomer Jonathan McDowell told the BBC it would be the first uncontrolled rocket collision with the moon.

But the effects will be small, he says.

Bill Gray, who studies near-Earth objects, asteroids, small planets and comets, has said that Falcon 9 will most likely hit the surface of the moon on March 4.
