Something appears to have smashed into the moon right as the world watched the lunar eclipse.
Reports from around the world show a small flash on the moon's surface. Numerous videos and photos – taken as the world watched the event referred to as the "Super Blood Wolf Moon" – appear to confirm that a rock or some other object had crashed into it.
The first person to have publicly mentioned seeing the flash was a Reddit user who said they "saw a bright flash on the moon" as they were looking up during the lunar eclipse, and had run inside and checked on a feed from Morocco that included the same flash. They had also checked and seen the light on the feed made available by the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, they said.
