A pice of space debris expected to crash into the moon on March 4 is not part of a rocket, as initially thought, but a booster from a Chinese spacecraft sent to the moon in 2014. The item now floating near the moon was first identified as part of a SpaceX rocket by Bill Gray, the developer of the astronomical software Project Pluto.He thought it was the booster from a rocket launch in February 2015, which sent a weather and Earth observation satellite named DSCOVR into orbit for the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
