NASA is calling on citizen scientists to help observe and record meteor strikes on the Moon, a key step in preparing for a permanent human presence on Earth's nearest neighbor. The space agency seeks volunteers to watch for flashes caused by meteoroids hitting the lunar surface, which can provide valuable data about the frequency and size of impacts. This crowdsourced effort aims to improve understanding of the hazards that future lunar habitats might face.
