Astronomers claim that China, not SpaceX, is building the rocket that will land on the Moon.

According to experts, the rocket, which is scheduled to land on the moon's surface on March 4, was manufactured by Beijing, not Elon Musk's business.

The rocket that is slated to crash into the Moon in early March was not created by SpaceX, as had been previously reported by astronomy experts, but by China.

According to analysts, a rocket will impact the lunar surface on March 4, however, contrary to what had previously been declared, it was not manufactured by Elon Musk's firm, but rather by the Chinese government.

Now, the rocket has been identified as 2014-065B, which served as a booster for the Chang'e 5-T1, which was launched in 2014 as part of the Chinese space agency's lunar exploration program.

Scientist Bill Gray, who predicted the future effect and then confessed his error last weekend, was responsible for the unexpected news.

Astronomer Jonathan McDowell, who pushes for more stringent regulations on space debris, said on Twitter that the discovery "just serves to highlight the issue of a lack of good monitoring of these deep space items."

It was "roughly the brightness we would anticipate," he said in his blog post. "It appeared at the expected time and was traveling in an acceptable orbit," he wrote in his blog post.

"With the benefit of hindsight, I should have spotted some unusual things" about the planet's orbit, he said.

NASA said late last month that it will make an effort to monitor the crater that would be made by the explosion of this object using its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which revolves around the Moon (LRO).

The event was described by the agency as a "interesting research opportunity."
