Small Asteroid Impacts Moon

I was able to catch the biggest lunar impact flash in my observation history! This is a picture of the lunar impact flash that appeared at 20:14:30.8 on February 23, 2023, taken from my home in Hiratsuka (replayed at actual speed). It was a huge flash that continued to shine for more than 1 second. Since the moon has no atmosphere, meteors and fireballs cannot be seen, and the moment a crater is formed, it glows.

That scene, I love it so much more now knowing that people didn’t even know that they would be running up that road. They couldn’t book out any streets due to funding so Sylvester just did it as is. Similar to the DJ video by Bowie (I’ll always spin it back to Bowie somehow):
