This hadspace archaeologists excited, while others lamented thegrowing threat of space junk.

ThesSurvey named the object WE0913A.

Of course, the thought of it being a SpaceX rocket ensured it would make headlines around the world.

That mission was designed to fly around the moon.

In short, the Chinese rocket fits the data a lot more closely.

“In a sense, this remains ‘circumstantial’ evidence,” writes Gray.

“But I would regard it as fairly convincing evidence.”

The booster poses no threat to Earth’s only natural satellite.

It’s expected to crash into a crater on the far side of the moon known as Hertzsprung.
