Artemis Astronauts Saw Meteoroids Crash Into the Moon
During a recent Artemis mission, astronauts reported seeing bright flashes on the lunar surface, which they identified as impact events caused by meteoroids striking the Moon. The crew logged four distinct flashes—two observed by one astronaut and two by another—occurring south of the lunar equator and slightly left of the Moon’s center. They ruled out thruster exhaust or reflected sunlight, confirming genuine meteoroid impacts. As astronaut Reed noted, “It was definitely impact flashes on the Moon,” while his colleague Jeremy described the locations in detail. The team also highlighted that citizen scientists on Earth are simultaneously tracking similar flashes, creating a collaborative observation network. These real‑time observations improve our understanding of the micrometeoroid environment around the Moon, informing spacecraft shielding designs and future crewed landing strategies.
