Astronomers recorded an unusual phenomenon on the moon

The fall of two object-like meteorites was recorded on the moon, informs Ukr.Media. Short-term lunar phenomena have been known since time immemorial In 1978, an American scientist, Winfred Cameron, compiled a catalog of 1468 events of this kind

. Astronomers continuously capture eruptions on a shaded part of the lunar surface, associated with masses of meteorites falling from a few grams to a kilogram. In a month, scientists set a few pieces to dozens of falls – their numbers can vary greatly depending on the meteorite flow. For example, in December 2017, at NASA's Geminiids Flow Flow, approximately 20 rockets were detected

A little over a week ago, on July 17, MIDAS telescopes detected two flares in only one day. According to scientists, the power of the torches corresponded to the meteorites' fall in the size of the nuts. Most likely, their source is the meteor shower of Alpha Capricornis, which, in turn, represents a dust stream generated by comet 169P / NEAT.
