The Spatial Extent of Lunar Impact Flashes
Abstract
On the 1st January 2017, a small sub-kilogram mass meteoroid impacted into the Mare Nubium. The flash was observed independently from Switzerland and the UK. There are indications that the shape of this flash may not have been a point source, and we discuss terrestrial and lunar explanations for the cause of this.
