Hello all,
During the Artemis II mission, the astronauts will be observing the darkened side of the Moon to look for impact flashes caused by meteoroids striking the surface and vapourising. We need you and your telescope to observe flashes simultaneously (Monday April 6 - Tuesday April 7), helping to avoid false positives from cosmic rays and allowing us to measure the relative sensitivity of the two observing methods.
See https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__science.nasa.gov_citizen-2Dscience_&d=DwIFaQ&c=t1KneP5CA95qj21Jnj2QJw&r=xyOk-E6qtRm3boZ_zLnRpFksf4SqtgbvsUNhUi7ITVY&m=-0QYqgi76L1vCsVlGK1Y-Ic39GfA8HFwYCVB6xY1gv-wsDbn4P6h3wqgSaHmIFZ1&s=w1QHGrfLbht6DBt-qJOM_B9LTB9duvwsoEs5KXNE4cA&e= for more details or email bfer...@jh.edu with any questions.
