Default An Explosion on the Moon

December 23, 2005: NASA scientists have observed an explosion on the
moon. The blast, equal in energy to about 70 kg of TNT, occurred near
the edge of Mare Imbrium (the Sea of Rains) on Nov. 7, 2005, when a
12-centimeter-wide meteoroid slammed into the ground traveling 27
km/s.

ground-shaking impacts could kick up moondust, possibly over a wide
area. Moondust is electrostatically charged and notoriously clingy.
(See "Mesmerized by Moondust" from Science@NASA.) Even a small amount
of moondust can be a great nuisance: it gets into spacesuit joints and
seals, clings to faceplates, and even makes the air smell when it is
tramped indoors by moonwalkers.
