WATCH: Meteorite Hits Moon in Brightest Impact Ever Recorded
February 24 2014
The Moon has been our defender of sorts for thousands of years! Now we can actually see it taking one on the chin for good ol’ Earth and Earthlings.
The 400-kilo rock hit with the power of 15 tons of TNT, creating a 40-meter wide lunar crater. Spanish astronomers say they have caught the “brightest impact” ever observed on the moon on video. The meteorite hit the lunar surface with the explosive power of 15 tons of TNT, and created a 40-meter wide crater.
“With a duration of over 8 seconds, this is the brightest and longest confirmed impact flash ever recorded on the Moon,” according to details published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
If anyone had been looking at the moon at the time in good viewing conditions, the flash was so bright that it would have been visible from Earth, according to the astronomers. Read More
Are you prepared?
This is pretty old.
Just to set things straight, what was seen was a flash on the moon. Absolutely everything else – that it was a meteor, its size, mass, speed, size of crater, all of that – is inferred from seeing a flash.
September the 11th eh..??? they kept that one quite….I wonder why

I think this is a disinfo article. I was looking at the moon the other night with my telescope and there was a huge “new?” white crater in the upper right quadrent “NE?”. It looked very bright white and fresh. I had never noticed it before.
I think this little pfft on the surface is a distraction from the real impact that happened recently.
But I am no professional scientist.
Don’t worry, a lot of ‘scientists’ aren’t very professional either
