AI 中文摘要
2026年8月5日协调世界时06:35左右，一枚废弃的猎鹰9号上面级将撞击月球表面，靠近爱因斯坦环形山。此次事件将发生在从地球观测时位于东边缘附近的阳光照射区域。撞击产生的闪光和喷射羽流可能被地面和太空观测设施观测到。该事件为尝试实时记录人造撞击提供了机会，尽管目前许多事件特性预测并不精确。此外，它还为测试用于定位月球表面撞击的流程提供了机会，可用于未来地震实验、研究月球撞击事件中的尘埃和羽流动力学以及考虑人造太空碎片撞击的危害。鼓励专业和业余天文学家尝试观测此次事件。
英文摘要
On 2026 August 5, at approximately 06:35 UT, a spent Falcon 9 upper stage will impact the lunar surface near Einstein Crater. This event will occur on sunlit terrain near the eastern limb as seen from Earth. The impact flash and resultant ejecta plume from this event are potentially observable from ground- and space-based observational facilities. This event provides an opportunity to attempt the recording of an artificial impact in real-time; although many of the properties of the event (such as visual magnitude) are imprecisely predicted at present. Moreover, this event provides an opportunity to test a pipeline for localising impacts on the lunar surface for future seismic experiments, investigating the dust and plume dynamics from impact events on the Moon, and considering hazards from artificial space debris impacts. Both professional and amateur astronomers are encouraged to attempt observations of this event.
