I joined Twitter in the good ol’ days of “twttr” in 2006. Things were complicated then, but I loved that service so much. It’s sad to see it go.

Turns Out it’s not a Falcon Stage
Corrected identification of object about to hit the moon:
Short version : back in 2015, I (mis)identified this object as 2015-007B, the second stage of the DSCOVR spacecraft. We now have good evidence that it is actually 2014-065B, the booster for the Chang’e 5-T1 lunar mission. (It will, however, still hit the moon within a few kilometers of the predicted spot on 2022 March 4 at 12:25 UTC, within a few seconds of the predicted time.)
