NASA's gigantic Space Launch System moon rocket, topped with an uncrewed astronaut capsule, is set to begin an hours-long crawl to its launchpad Tuesday night ahead of the behemoth's debut test flight later this month.

Water may have been brought to Earth by asteroids from the outer edges of the solar system, scientists said.

The moon's bright light will overpower the meteors' shine and stargazers should expect to see 10-20 meteors per hour at best, unlike last year.

It has been more than a month since astrophysicists have been predicting that a rocket is on a collision course with the moon. Earlier, it was thought be SpaceX's Falcon 9 booster, but recent reports have claimed that it may not be some other rocket.
