Meteors hit Moon; rare event detected by UAE observatory

Meteors hit Moon; rare event detected by UAE observatory Wam A Sharjah observatory has detected rare sequential impacts on the Moon. Detected by the Sharjah Astronomical Observatory, the team has analysed the time of impacts and their relative positions. Based on this, it has been determined that they are a series of meteorite impacts. They resulted from the disintegration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational pull of the Moon as it approaches its surface. ALSO READ It appears from preliminary analyses that these impacts have created new craters on the surface of the Moon ranging in diameter from 5 to 10 metres.
