Los astronautas de la misión Artemis II presencian el impacto de hasta seis meteoritos en la Luna

Los astronautas a bordo de la nave espacial Orion de la NASA durante la misión Artemis II observaron hasta seis destellos en la cara oculta de la Luna. Los destellos fueron causados por pequeños meteoritos que impactaron contra la superficie lunar. Los choques produjeron breves ráfagas de luz visibles a miles de kilómetros de distancia.

Durante un sobrevuelo por la cara oculta de la Luna, la tripulación de la misión Artemis II detectó los destellos que surgían de la superficie lunar, según un informe de WIRED publicado el miércoles. Estos eventos consistieron en pequeños meteoritos colisionando contra el terreno, lo que generó luz visible a partir de los impactos. La Luna se encuentra habitualmente con escombros espaciales, y los fragmentos más grandes generan resplandores detectables a grandes distancias, tal como señala la cobertura. La nave espacial Orion transportaba a los astronautas cuando realizaron esta observación inesperada. Tales impactos de meteoritos ponen de relieve el entorno dinámico que rodea a la Luna, aunque la tripulación continuó su misión sin que se reportaran problemas. No se proporcionaron más detalles sobre el momento exacto ni el tamaño de los meteoritos.
