Recent Impacts on the Moon

Description
Recent Impacts on the Moon
The locations A–F are places on the Moon where impacts were observed from Earth in 1999 during the Leonid
meteor shower. The impacting bodies hit the Moon at around 260,000 km/h (160,000 mi/h) and had masses of
between 1 and 10 kg. Each impact created a short-lived cloud that momentarily heated to between 5 × 104 and
10 × 104 K, much hotter than the surface of the Sun
