A huge piece of space junk from a spacecraft flown by Elon Musk's SpaceX has torpedoed into a farmer's property in the Snowy Mountains in NSW.

The three-metre object - a piece of a SpaceX Crew-1 craft - was discovered speared into the ground on a property south of Jindabyne, after farmer Mick Miners went to investigate a loud bang that was heard by his daughters.

Australian National University space expert Brad Tucker told radio host Ben Fordham he was called out to investigate the discovery.

'This is most definitely space junk which was part of the SpaceX Crew-1 trunk,' he said on Ben Fordham Live on Monday morning.

'SpaceX has this capsule that takes humans into space but there is a bottom part... so when the astronauts come back, they leave the bottom part in space before the capsule lands.
