Artemis II Astronauts Witness Five Micrometeorite Impacts on the Moon

During their recent mission around the Moon, the Artemis II crew observed five faint flashes of light, believed to be micrometeorite impacts on the lunar surface. These naked-eye observations, detailed in the Artemis II Preliminary Lunar Science Report, represent the faintest impact flashes ever seen by humans and lend credibility to earlier astronaut reports from Apollo missions.
