Moon Bombing continues...

[LunaSea]

For the past 8 years, NASA astronomers have been monitoring the Moon for signs of explosions caused by meteoroids hitting the lunar surface. "Lunar meteor showers" have turned out to be more common than anyone expected, with hundreds of detectable impacts occurring every year.

They've just seen the biggest explosion in the history of the program.

5. There are reports on this same phenomenon from the Middle Ages, just

didn't know what was causing the flashes of light.

6. I bet it was struck by a blade from a Siemens wind turbine.

Oops -- forgot my style sheet;

I BET IT WAS STRUCK BY A BLADE FROM A SIEMENS WIND TURBINE.

Those suckers can really fly!

[MineralMan]

7. The blade was "hurled" into space.

On its way it caused a cluster.

Cinnamon, are arguing whether to listen to
KORN (the terible 2000 band), or to

U2

Turns out, one of the unicons has tickets to see
REM.
Oh Awesome, say the unicorns.
Let's go get
Laid before the show!

12. is it the direction of our motion in the solar system

making it less likely for the poles to be hit?
and the moon's synchronized rotation-orbit making a chance of impact graduate away from earth?

[freshwest]

14. Don't blame Earth!

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Sometimes...one little thread on DU can make me feel like I'm high...

This one did it.
