NASA Investigates Lunar Impact Flashes Observed by Artemis II Crew
NASA is analyzing data from the Artemis II mission, which included observations of lunar impact flashes by the crew. These flashes occur when meteorites strike the moon's surface, creating brief bursts of light. The Artemis II mission, a record-breaking journey that took astronauts behind the moon, collected extensive data, including these observations. The flashes were seen on the moon's far side, which is not visible from Earth, and are challenging to capture on camera.
