A photo from open sources
January 21, right during the sensational “bloody” moon eclipse, fell to the surface of the Earth’s natural satellite, judging by large meteorite. He was noticed even by ordinary amateur astronomers who observed telescopes behind Selena, colored that night in an unusual reddish color. Short the light flash intrigued enthusiasts very much, and they began talk about their discovery to users of the World cobwebs.
A little later, the fall of the meteorite to the moon was confirmed by scientists from Spanish University of Welba. Researchers themselves observed in that night behind the satellite of our planet, sending powerful telescopes at it, which is quite logical. The video they received about the meteorite’s fall was analyzed by special software astronomical center that recognized the outbreak in the area Burgi crater in the west of the visible side of the moon. Here it happened the burning of a mysterious cosmic body that was observed by many astronomers, including amateurs.
There are no reasons for concern, it seems. Specialists concluded that the diameter of the block was only about 10 meters. About 140 meteorites fall on the Moon annually, the vast most of which are small. However this is the first the case when a meteorite collapsed on Selena was recorded in lunar eclipse time. In the near future, astronomers intend to study what happened and get a photo of a new crater formed on the place where this mysterious space object falls.
Mysterious because many ufologists, conspiracy theorists and simple The regulars of the Network did not really believe the experts’ words about the meteorite. On the moon, as you know, there is no atmosphere in which they could burn these space guests. Where did the light spot come from then diameter over 90 kilometers? Alternative Researchers believe that it was very similar to an artificial flash. Other in words, it could well be representatives of an extraterrestrial civilization, something else unusual and unknown to us, but certainly not a meteorite.
