UK Economy Strengthens as Service Sector Recovers and Car Sales Rise

The United Kingdom economy has shown renewed strength as the service sector returns to growth and car sales register a notable increase.

In separate developments, space authorities reported that a four-tonne piece of a discarded SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is believed to have unintentionally impacted the moon at high speed. The debris, roughly the size of a building, had been in orbit since launching a lunar lander for Firefly Aerospace in January 2025. Officials confirmed the collision poses no danger to Earth, though it is expected to create a new lunar crater.
