Meteoroid storms detected on the moon
Abstract
Seismometers on the moon have detected several brief periods of enhanced meteoroid-impact activity, believed to represent encounters of the moon with 'clouds' of objects in the kilogram range. The latest and most active encounter, in June 1975, is interpreted as a meteoroid cloud of diameter 0.1 astronomical unit and total mass 10 to the 13th power to 10 to the 14th power grams.
