Astronomers spot record-breaking lunar impact
A meteorite with the mass of a small car crashed into the Moon last September, according to Spanish astronomers. The impact, the biggest seen to date, produced a bright flash and would have been easy to spot from Earth.
The scientists publish their description of the event in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.*
