An astronomer caught a meteor crashing into the Moon's surface on video while monitoring our Lunar satellite.

While monitoring the Moon in February, Japanese astronomer Daichi Fujii captured the bright flash of a meteor striking the Moon’s surface, later. The event is quick and easy to miss in the video that’s included below. But if you pay careful attention, you can see the bright flash as the meteor strikes our Lunar satellite.

According to Fujii, the meteor appears to have hit somewhere near the Ideler L crater, which is slightly northwest of the Pitiscus crater on the Moon. Capturing the meteor strike on video makes the occasion even more exciting. We’ve always known that– and other planets – but video evidence of such events hasn’t always been easy to come by.

Additionally, if the meteor strike isn’t large enough, or it isn’t on the side of the Moon facing Earth, it’s easy to miss them. Meteors, on average, can travel around 30,000 miles per hour, or 48,280 kph. This high velocity means that any large meteor striking the Moon would clearly show on video in the form of a bright flash like that seen in the video captured by Fujii.
