Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite impact on moon during eclipse

[John Lutzon via Meteorite-list]

Hi All,

Regarding Tracy's post--in a full Blood moon, an impact was observeable--
Good call Tracy...which may not have been seen on a "brighter" moon.

So, are there Any Moon observations that are being performed with different
filters. I believe impacts are occuring more often than we (see) know. ??

Does anyone have a guesstimate on the speed/size/origin/crater size
of this particular impact?

Nite, John

Subject: [meteorite-list] Meteorite impact on moon during eclipse


We watched the lunar eclipse Sunday night, although in mid-Pacific we were only 
able to see it from totality on. As the Moon 
started to reemerge from shadow, one of our friends said, "Does anyone else see 
that reddish light on the moon by the terminator?" 
Squinting, we just caught the end of a very brief flare. I was hoping and 
wondering if we had spotted an impact, and lo!

A meteorite hit the moon during yesterday’s total lunar eclipse
Observers of yesterday’s lunar eclipse were blessed with the first known 
sighting of a meteorite impact during such an event. The 
so-called “super wolf blood moon” was eagerly watched by ...

Another of our friends online caught the impact on video:
"At 1:23:04 you can see an 
impact flash occur on the moon at about the 8 
o'clock position near the edge! This matches with a variety of other videos of 
the eclipse which caught the same event. " ~~

I was very lucky!

Best!

[meteorite-list] Impactful Eclipse

[Mike Fiedler via Meteorite-list]

From the NBC News account*, I see a familiar name:

" And though it may be surprising to see an object strike the moon
during a lunar eclipse, it’s not uncommon for the moon to get whacked.

According to Randy Korotev, a lunar geochemist at Washington
University in St. Louis, these impacts happen a lot on the moon.

“I’m not at all surprised that they may have seen an impact,” Korotev
said in an email. “The moon gets hit every day.”"

Too bad the News folks didn't take the opportunity to request, and
publish, any info on comparative energy yields of typical "daily"
impacts, and the likely magnitude of the witnessed event.
