Daichi JujiJapanese amateur astronomer, took unique pictures in which meteorite hit the Mooncausing a brief flash on the surface.
Juji, curator of the Hiratsuka City Museum, took the pictures from Kanagawa Prefecture. The flash lasted almost a second.
meteorite on the lunar surface
The impact was posted on his Twitter account.
“I managed to capture the largest lunar flare in my entire history of observations. This is an image of the impact lunar flare that appeared at 20:14:30.8 on February 23, 2023, taken from my home in Hiratsuka (reproduced at real speed),” the astronomer notes. “It was a huge flash that continued to shine for more than 1 second. Given that Moon It has no atmosphere, meteors and fireballs are not visible, and at the moment of formation of the crater, it glows.
Daichi Juji believes the impact occurred near the Ideler L and Pitiscus craters, but to confirm this, he will have to wait for NASA to take screen shots with its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or India can do the same with its Chandrayaan-2 lander.

Meteors falling on the lunar surface are not new.
A similar event occurred in 2022, when a spent rocket stage crashed into Moon, forming two successive craters on the surface. Funnels with a diameter of 18 and 16 meters were discovered almost four months after the crash of the rocket on the far side of the planet. Moon.
Moon it already has countless craters, up to 2,500 kilometers long. The real atmosphere is practically absent, so the satellite is defenseless against constant shelling meteors and asteroids. Without weather, there is no erosion, so impact craters persist.
