NASA Releases Artemis II Crew's Handwritten Notes of Moon Meteors

NASA has released an image of the Moon's far side with handwritten annotations from the Artemis II crew, who observed meteoroid impacts. Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Jeremy Hansen recorded five extremely faint flashes from 46,000 miles away during a solar eclipse.

• Artemis II crew saw five faint flashes from meteoroid impacts
• Observations were made from Orion 46,000 miles from the Moon
• Flash brightness suggests incoming rocks no more than a couple inches wide
• Data will complement Apollo records and help assess risks to lunar habitats
