Space debris from SpaceX Dragon capsule has crashed on a hiking trail in North Carolina mountains.

The piece of debris likely came from the reentry of the SpaceX Crew-7 mission to the International Space Station, which returned to Earth on March 12, 2024, according to astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell.

From the images it looks to be the trunk of the spacecraft, which remains attached to Dragon until shortly before reentry into Earth's atmosphere.

SpaceX has yet to comment.
