Icarus, 2010
The SMART-1 spacecraft impacted the Moon on 3rd September 2006 at a speed of 2 km s−1 and at a very shallow angle of incidence (∼1°). The resulting impact crater is too small to be viewed from the Earth; accordingly, the general crater size and shape have been determined here by laboratory impact experiments at the same speed and angle of incidence ...

The Moon is an airless body, devoid of the atmosphere that Earth has to protect it from the impacts of meteoroids. In the case of the Earth, the atmosphere shields the ground from all but the larger (and much rarer) meteoroid collisions. We see the collision between the meteoroid and the atmosphere as a “falling” or “shooting” star, sometimes leaving a

Support for the Lunar Cataclysm Hypothesis from Lunar Meteorite Impact Melt Ages
Science, 2000Lunar meteorites represent a more random sampling of lunar material than the Apollo or Luna collections and, as such, lunar meteorite impact melt ages are the most important data in nearly 30 years with which to reexamine the lunar cataclysm hypothesis.

Lunar Accretion from an Impact-Generated Disk
Nature, 1997Although the mechanism by which the Moon was formed is currently unknown, several lines of evidence point to its accretion from a circumterrestrial disk of debris generated by a giant impact on the Earth. Theoretical simulations show that a single large moon can be produced from such a disk in less than a year, and establish a direct relationship ...

Lunar lineaments and meteorite impact
Tectonophysics, 1968Abstract Through the use of terrestrial analogies with regard to the formation of craters, new prominence has been given to the theory that lunar craters are possibly the result of volcanism rather than of random meteorite impacts. The paper examines the validity of using terrestrial parallels and suggests that an impact origin neither precludes ...

Diviner Lunar Radiometer Observations of the LCROSS Impact
Science, 2010Watering the Moon About a year ago, a spent upper stage of an Atlas rocket was deliberately crashed into a crater at the south pole of the Moon, ejecting a plume of debris, dust, and vapor. The goal of this event, the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) experiment, was to search for water and other volatiles ...

Two Successive Lunar Impact Flashes: First lunar impact detection from Turkey
AbstractA number of attempts have been done to detect of lunar impact flash observations by various researchers in last 20 years. One of the systematically research of lunar impact flash observations has been done at İSTEK Belde Observatory since 2017.Mert Acar, Alper K. Ateş
