Description: Corsair is here welcome to my new video.Mysterious flashes have been observed on the Moon for years and it is still unclear exactly what is responsible. Known as transient lunar phenomena, these anomalous flashes have been known about since the 1950s however scientists have long struggled to determine what might be causing them. Possible explanations include meteorite impacts, seismic activity or interactivity with the solar wind. Now in a renewed effort to observe the phenomenon, scientists of the Julius Maximilian University of Wurzburg in Germany has built a lunar telescope designed entirely for this purpose. Located in a private observatory in Spain, the telescope consists of two cameras which monitor the Moon every night. If both register a flash of light at the same time, the system will take a picture, record footage and send a message to scientists team for further investigation.
