Space objects such as meteoroids and asteroids move across the solar system and can collide with both Earth and the Moon. However, the Moon shows far more visible impact marks on its surface. One main reason is that Earth has a thick atmosphere that protects the planet. When many... meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere, they burn up due to friction before they can reach the ground. This process creates the bright streaks of light we call shooting stars. The Moon, however, has almost no atmosphere, so incoming space rocks are not slowed down or burned up. They travel directly to the lunar surface and strike it at very high speed. Each collision creates an impact crater, throwing dust and rocks outward from the impact point. Over billions of years, thousands of these impacts have covered the Moon with craters. Unlike Earth, the Moon also has no wind, water, or weather to erase these craters, so they remain visible for millions or even billions of years. This is why the Moon looks heavily cratered when we observe it from Earth through telescopes.show more

What’s happening in the video?⁠ ⁠ On the morning of December 15, 2025, Japanese astrophotographer Daichi Fujii captured something incredible: three bright flashes on the Moon. 🌕✨⁠ ⁠ The impacts happened at 4:35:55, 4:58:20, and 5:33:08 (Dec 15, 2025) — and observers in other countries reported seeing the flashes too.⁠ ⁠ What caused them? Meteoroids.⁠ Three space rocks, each about 1 meter across, likely slammed into the lunar surface 20–30 minutes apart.⁠ ⁠ They were probably part of the Geminid meteor shower. Around that time, Earth was moving through a stream of dust released by the asteroid (3200) Phaethon. Those particles hit Earth’s atmosphere at over 30 km/s, giving us up to ~120 shooting stars per hour. 🌠⁠ ⁠ But the Moon has no atmosphere — so meteoroids don’t burn up. They hit the ground directly… and we can sometimes see the impact as a flash. 💥⁠ ⁠ #Moon #astronomy #space #lunarimpact #StarWalk

A unique moment of an asteroid impact on the Moon during the day. Without an atmosphere on the Moon, the asteroid doesn't burn up, but rather slams into the surface at incredible speed, creating new craters—the very same "scars" that have shaped its appearance over billions of years. By ???

A dramatic moment captures a space rock striking the Moon’s surface, creating a powerful and sudden impact. The object hits at incredible speed, producing a brief flash and disturbing the lunar surface. With no atmosphere to slow it down, the Moon is constantly exposed to impacts from space rocks, which have shaped its cratered landscape over billions of years. Events like this are happening all the time, but capturing one clearly is rare. This moment gives a glimpse into the dynamic nature of space and how even the Moon continues to change. A brief impact, but a powerful reminder of cosmic activity. #nasa #space #spacex

The Moon has little atmosphere, so meteoroids have nothing to stop them from striking the surface.

A dramatic moment captures an asteroid striking the Moon’s surface, creating a sudden and powerful impact. The object hits at incredible speed, producing a brief flash against the silent lunar landscape. With no atmosphere to slow incoming objects, the Moon experiences direct impacts that shape its cratered surface over time. These events happen more often than we realize, but capturing one clearly is rare. This moment highlights the dynamic nature of space, where even the Moon continues to change through constant impacts. A split-second collision… but a powerful cosmic event.

The reason they developed reusable rockets is so they can return to Earth after the Geophysical Event. The reason they want to build data centers on the Moon is to preserve human knowledge in the form of AI after the event. They have doomsday bunkers on Earth and high in the mountains, but they also have a backup plan that includes the Moon. They know they cannot create self-sustaining colonies on other planets or on the Moon. Earth is the only viable option, and the cyclical Geophysical Event resets civilization like clockwork.

On January 14, 2005, the Huygens probe descending through Titan’s atmosphere revealed one of the rarest views in space exploration. From Saturn’s moon Titan, Earth and the Moon crossed in front of the Sun as tiny shadows nearly a billion miles away. What makes it even more incredible is how rare the alignment was. A perfectly central Earth and Moon transit from Saturn’s system happens only about twice every 1,000 years. From that distance, our entire planet looked small enough to disappear into the sunlight.

During a Grand Solar Minimum and a geomagnetic excursion, Earth becomes the dangerous place. A weak magnetic field means unstable radiation belts, ionospheric chaos, satellite failure, GPS collapse, and increased cosmic radiation at the surface. The Moon doesn’t suffer from this chaos. It has no magnetosphere to collapse, no ionosphere to destabilize, and radiation in deep space is harsh but stable and predictable. With just a few meters of lunar regolith, underground bases on the Moon, especially on the far side, become better shielded, more reliable, and more survivable than Earth orbit or even Earth’s surface. That’s why the Moon isn’t a distraction. It’s the logical place to ride out what’s coming.

Earth and Moon seem so close to each other and the big planets of the Solar System look so big. But in reality, you could fit every planet in the Solar System between the Earth and the Moon and still have room to spare. [🎞️ starwalkapp]

The Earth doesn't orbit the Moon, and the Moon doesn't orbit the Earth. They both orbit their common barycenter (center of mass)!

Earth + Theia = MOON Once upon a time — about 4.5 billion years ago — Earth wasn't alone. A rogue planet, Theia, nearly the size of Mars, smashed into it at full speed. The result? A fiery collision that could have created the Moon in just a FEW HOURS, not the millennia previously thought. NASA supercomputer simulations show that the Moon wasn't pieced together from space debris, but was instantly born from molten fragments of Earth and Theia thrown into orbit. That's why the Moon is so similar to Earth — it's not just a satellite, it's a sister.

Did you know the James Webb Space Telescope isn’t orbiting Earth at all? The James Webb Space Telescope operates near the Sun–Earth L2 point, about 1.5 million km from Earth. From there, the Sun, Earth, and Moon stay on the same side of the telescope, allowing its giant sunshield to block their heat and light at the same time. That keeps Webb cold and stable enough to detect extremely faint infrared signals from deep space. Because of this, Webb can peer through clouds of cosmic dust and observe galaxies whose light has traveled for more than 13 billion years. Every image it captures is not just a view across space, but a look back into the early history of the universe.

Experience a once-in-a-lifetime perspective of a solar eclipse, seen from the window of an airplane.. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves directly between Earth and the Sun, aligning so precisely that it blocks the Sun’s light. Although the Sun is roughly 400 times larger than the Moon, it is also about 400 times farther away, making them appear nearly the same size in the sky. During totality, the Moon completely obscures the Sun, unveiling its outer atmosphere—the corona—and turning daylight into an eerie twilight. Because this exact alignment is rare for any given location, total solar eclipses are truly unforgettable events.

ASTEROID 2024 YR4 MAY HIT THE MOON—AND SCIENTISTS ARE HOPING IT DOES A once-alarming asteroid is now offering a unique lunar science opportunity. Asteroid 2024 YR4, once feared to hit Earth, now poses no threat to our planet—but it might collide with the Moon. The 197-foot-wide space rock, tracked by the James Webb Space Telescope, now has a 2% chance of impacting the Moon, according to new data. Scientists say the impact would be harmless to Earth but groundbreaking for research. Julia de León, planetary scientist: "Honestly, I hope it does." If it strikes, it would mark the first time a 60-meter object has been observed slamming into the Moon live. Source: NASA Asteroid Watch

Artemis II Glides Past the Moon A stunning view from deep space shows Orion — the spacecraft of NASA’s Artemis II mission — gracefully sailing near the cratered lunar surface. The ancient, rugged Moon fills the frame as humanity’s first crewed voyage beyond low-Earth orbit in over 50 years unfolds in real time.This historic flight carried four astronauts — Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen — on a daring loop around the Moon, pushing farther into space than any humans since the Apollo era. The mission successfully tested Orion’s systems for future lunar landings and beyond.The breathtaking contrast between cutting-edge human technology and the timeless, airless beauty of the lunar landscape captures the spirit of exploration: bold curiosity, technical mastery, and our enduring drive to reach new frontiers. Note: This is a creative or illustrative depiction of the scene. Actual mission imagery from Artemis II shows spectacular views of both the near and far side of the Moon captured by the crew.
