Meteor Impact On The Moon
An impact event was observed by NASA scientist Rob Suggs and astronomer Bill Cooke on November 7th, 2005, while testing out a new 10-in telescope and video camera they had assembled to monitor the moon for meteor strikes. After consulting star charts they concluded that the impact body was probably part of the Taurid meteor shower. This may well be the first recording of this type of lunar event which some have claimed to have witnessed in the past.
