An Earth-based observatory has published video footage of a 400 kg meteor ramming into the moon at a speed of 61,000 kilometers per hour. The meteor was ten times larger than those previously recorded and left behind a 40-meter-wide crater.

“This is the largest, brightest impact we have ever observed on the Moon,” said Jose Madiedo of the MIDAS project, who said he “couldn’t imagine” such a collision before seeing it appear on his screen on September 11, 2013.

While the meteor was the weight of a compact car, it was traveling at a speed of 61,000 kilometers per hour (38,000 mph), creating a ‘white hot’ flash upon contact.

Too bad it hit the dark side of the moon but then again, that is where all the aliens, decepticons and demons are right? Maybe it was a good thing afterall..
