Fun fact: over 100 tons of meteoroid material hits Earth’s atmosphere every single day — most of it burning up before we ever notice. #space #moon #asteroid #SpaceRock #NASA #astronomy #astrophotography #moonphotography | Astro Clips | Facebook

A lone space rock drifts across the face of the Moon — a simulated glimpse of how near-Earth asteroids might appear from our perspective. These small bodies pass our planet regularly, yet only a few are ever seen crossing the lunar disk. #moon #asteroid #spacerock #lunar #spaceexploration #earth #NASA #simulation #astronomy #SpaceX | Astro Clips

🌑 A lone space rock drifted across the Moon’s surface… slow, silent, and unavoidable. Seconds later, it slammed into the lunar crust, releasing a brief flash before disappearing into darkness. Impacts like this happen more often than we think — the Moon has no atmosphere to protect it. 👀 🌌 Fun fact: The Moon is hit by meteoroids roughly once every few hours, leaving new scars we can’t see from Earth. #moon #spacerock #impact #astronomy #astrophotography #spaceexploration #NASA #cosmos #meteor
