Lunar Impacts

There's a meteor shower on the Moon tonight. Like Earth, the Moon is inside the Delta Aquarid meteoroid stream. Unlike Earth, however, the Moon has no atmosphere to shield it. Meteors on the Moon hit the ground and explode.
Some of the impact flashes might be visible from Earth. When the sun goes down tonight, train your telescope on the crescent Moon: sky map. Look left of the crescent where the lunar terrain is dark. Split-second flashes of light could signal Delta Aquarids hitting the ground.
