Molten blobs create moon flashes
Meteorites colliding with the moon sometimes set off tiny lights dancing across its surface. Now scientists think they know what powers these lunar lightbulbs, in the absence of any atmosphere that would otherwise set incoming meteors ablaze: The flashes result from superhot material kicked up by the tiny objects striking the moon’s surface.

I love science (especially physics and astronomy). I believe in feminism and equality. I (attempt to) make things out of polymer clay. I hate to cook.
