In an incredible scientific first published in the latest space mission reports, the astronauts aboard NASA’s Orion capsule during the Artemis II mission managed to witness tiny, fleeting sparks on the lunar surface with their own naked eyes. The historic event occurred when the Moon perfectly blocked the Sun from Orion’s view, allowing the crew’s eyes to adjust to the pitch darkness. They successfully logged five microscopic impact flashes caused by space rocks slamming into the dark side of the Moon. This incredible visual confirmation adds undeniable human credibility to controversial reports made by Apollo 16 and 17 crews over half a century ago.
