Moon strike


During the recent lunar eclipse in January (which I was actually able to view), astronomers recorded the flash of a small space rock striking the moon.

I didn't see the flash (it was really quick), but it was photographed.   The size estimates of the rock are 1-2 feet "across", but I'm sure no one knows what its actual shape was.



During the Last Lunar Eclipse, a Meteor Smacked the Moon in the Face at 38,000 Mph
