Understanding lunar impacts could help protect astronauts when Nasa sends humans back to the Moon.
Yes that could ruin their day.

"Understanding" something and "Doing" something are not the same thing NASA...Contemplate your navel with somebody elses money.
Far too much time spent understanding and not enough time doing....Kinda sounds like our Schools, doesn't it?
After all, how much time does it take to understand that a high-speed space rock will flatten an astronaut?

I saw the video frames on Drudge of the explosion. How do you get an explosion that flashes light with no oxygen? Was this a meteor full of gas and oxygen?

Are you implying it was Ted Kennedy that crashed into the moon? Except one of the elements would be Chivas.

I am curious. Given the speed of meteors, exactly what would they propose to do?
To: jetson
Flying dust illuminated by sunlight would be visible.

Moon dust is rather pale, and when dust particles are illuminated by the Sun against the blackness of space...

Yes, but did they have a search warrant in order to monitor lunar activity...oh wait, that's NSA, not NASA.

Oxygen is not needed for an explsion. Explosives don't require atmospheric oxygen, either. In this case, the energy of the impact is high enough to heat the materials involved so you get a flash of light.
