Those speeds would definitely cause some major problems like rolling blackouts, killing of our food supply, maybe even a massive oil pipeline fire! I’m glad it’s the moon getting hit and not Earth.

I enjoy watching them, but what I am interested is where those things come from. I learned that those things come around from a long time, and finally hit something 50-100 years later! Thats what I think is exciting. Maybe one day, telescopic technology will get us closer to fully understanding the moon and the other things outside of it. Hopefully I will live on that giant rock one day! A lot of things hit the moon. I enjoy watching them, but what I am interested is where those things come from.

I dont have the super telescope to see the start or moon. wau ~ interesting, i think maybe we can try get a 35-40X optical zoom camcorder and check it out.

It was seen naked eye and 30x small telescope magnification.It was probably from a comet that had passed within a week,and so I suspect was ice laden and cometary material.It would be an interesting scientific find,I believe. There could be buried ice from the impact,perfectly preserving valuable cometary material.If I saw it naked eye it has to be a nice large amount of water if it was ice,as I believe,since it was so bright.There are many more reasons to support this claim too detailed for this space. I also have info and pics to show exact location of impact. I have pics of People,animals,fossils on Mars for others interested in Mars. Yes,there is life on Mars.They look like us.

If the moon got hit by one of the gaint ones and cracked it or worse...it would be bad news for us..... Lets hope the moon doesnt get hit by the gaint ones scientists predict to hit earth.

I used to track all celestial events when I was younger and take out little telescope out and watch them. Many times i looked at the moon! :) This is quite awesome.

The video was totally awesome. Thanks for the tip! I think it’s very cool you can photograph asteroids exploding on the moon. The video was totally awesome. Thanks for the tip!

Maybe we will see google moon soon...? :P To bad it wouldnt look the same of all the explosions xD That is pretty cool.

However, we don't see very many craters around our house or meteors racing against the planes. Therefore, I conclude that we should thank God for the fantastic atmosphere that protects us from 13,000 m/s impacts. This is what I think:

Dangit Chris! Now I want to buy a telescope, too! I have my eyes on a Nikon D300 digital Single Lens Reflex camera and now I think I'll have to start looking for a telescope!Guys, any telescopes you might recommend?

Without a moon, Earth would look a lot like Mars. Some of the asteroids that hit the moon could have potentially killed us a long time ago.

A lot of people don't realize, but the moon is a very good barrier of protection. Some of the asteroids that hit the moon potentially could have killed us all.

I think this .gif looks a little bit fake, but I can believe that it makes the moon glow when the meteoroids hit the moon like that. I know that I wouldn't want to get hit with something treaveling that fast. I've never seen the moon get hit with a meteoroid like that, but I hope one day that I will be able to.
