A meteorite collides with the moon during the total lunar eclipse, and its appearance is distributed to the world



The total lunar eclipse was observed from 20th night of local time to the early 21st of the local time in the United States and Europe etc. As this total lunar eclipse looks reddish, it is called "Super Blood Wolf Moon" and it became a topic, but in the meantime a meteor strikes the moon and is observed by many people.

The state of the total lunar eclipse was streaming delivered, and a lot of people all over the world were watching. Below is a picture captured by the research team of MIDAS (Moon Impacts Detection and Analysis System).



The part of the surface of the moon, indicated by the arrow, was a dark state in the movie all the time ... ...



At 4:41 minutes 38 seconds in the world time, light shines crisply in about 5 seconds from the beginning in the movie.



Overall it looks like this.



Although it took a while for the light to blink, the person who discovered this will thread "reddit" on the overseas bulletin board, saying, "Maybe a stone collided with the moon?" And Jose M. Madiedo , a researcher at University of Huelva in Spain, confirmed that this phenomenon was a crash collision. Madiedo et al. Researchers thought that we would like to observe collision of cobblestones during lunar eclipse for many years but so far it seems that it was difficult to observe from that brightness. It is observed that the crust collides with the lunar surface in 2014, but it was not during the lunar eclipse.

Mr. Madiedo, who had doubled the number of telescopes and came to observe the total lunar eclipse, said he had the expectation of "this time can go". And after the lunar eclipse software said that it automatically identified the place where the light was. Mr. Madiedo has not figured out the size of the marble yet, but it seems that it is about the size of American football, and the weight was about 2 kg.
