Remote Visual Detection of Impacts on the Lunar Surface

摘要: We propose a novel method of remotely observing impacts on the airless Moon that may extend present data base meteoroids down to 1 m in diameter. Meteorites or comets radius approximately 1-100 are burnt away dispersed atmospheres Earth and Venus. However, when such objects strike they deposit their energy small initial volume, forming plasma plume whose visible infrared radiation be from Earth. consider model SiO2 projectiles surface an Moon.
