Falcon 9 impact near Einstein crater
The rocket stage will slam into the lunar surface at about 8694km/h, near the Einstein crater.
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and other spacecraft will watch from afar as it creates a fresh crater and kicks up underground material.
Scientists are excited for this rare chance to study how an artificial object affects the Moon.
