The crew of NASA's Artemis II mission witnessed five tiny meteor flashes on the moon's surface during their lunar flyby in April 2023. The astronauts, who were watching for such events, spotted the brief, faint impacts with their naked eyes. These observations, along with photos and notes taken during the mission, have been published in a preliminary lunar science report. The data will help NASA estimate the frequency of micrometeoroid impacts and plan protection for future lunar outposts and crews.
