Artemis II Astronauts Observe Meteoroid Impacts on Lunar Surface

Astronauts aboard NASA's Artemis II mission observed five faint flashes from meteoroid impacts on the Moon's unlit side during their lunar flyby. These observations, likely the dimmest ever seen by human eyes, provide valuable anecdotal data on the frequency and characteristics of small impacts. This complements automated sensor data, enhancing understanding of the lunar environment for future missions.
