From 46,000 miles away, astronauts sketched moon meteors by hand — the faintest ever seen

During April's Artemis II lunar flyby, astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Canada's Jeremy Hansen watched the Moon's dark side eclipse the Sun — and spotted five pinprick flashes no unaided eye had ever caught. Each man marked his sightings in handwritten notes aboard the Orion capsule. NASA has now released the annotated image: tiny impact bursts from rocks no wider than a couple of inches, hitting the Moon at thousands of miles an hour — a front-row seat to the solar system at work, and data that will help design safer lunar homes.
