20 years of ground-based lunar impact flash observations
Abstract
A direct implication of studying lunar impact flashes in the understanding of the mechanisms that produce the light. In addition it enables us to construct the size frequency distribution of objects in the near Earth space at very small scales. A future application is to use systematically the lunar impact flashes for the detection of the fresh craters on them Moon and link a mass/size of an impactor with a crater size.
