NASA Space Science News for Dec. 9, 1999
LunarImpact.com -- During November's Leonid meteor shower, astronomers
observed for the first time optical flashes caused by meteorites striking
the lunar surface. All were relatively bright and easily detectable
with amateur telescopes. The next opportunity to view lunar meteorite
impacts could be just around the corner when the Geminid meteor shower
peaks on Dec. 14. LunarImpact.com features information about the 1999
Leonid impacts, detailed observing tips for the Geminids, and an
"Ask-a-lunar-observer" button sponsored by the Association for Lunar &
Planetary Observers.
