Astronomers reveal meteoroid hit the moon during this week's total lunar eclipse (video)

As if this week’s ‘super blood wolf moon’ wasn’t spectacular enough, sky-gazers were also treated to the sight of a meteoroid impact at the height of the eclipse.

Researchers with the Moon Impacts Detection and Analysis System (MIDAS) have confirmed that a small, bright flash spotted by some observers was a rogue space rock crashing into the lunar surface.

The impact took place at around 11:41 p.m. ET and was captured in live-streams all around the world, according to the Daily Mail.

Astrophysicist Jose Maria Madiedo tweeted out footage of the incredible phenomenon not long after the eclipse.

The impact occurred during totality – when the face of the moon glowed an eerie blood red.

While it was over in the blink of an eye, telescopes from the MIDAS survey were watching all the while and documented the fleeting event.

Madiedo spotted it at 5:41 a.m. Spanish local time.

The so-called ‘super blood wolf moon’ was the first full moon of 2019, and brought the last total lunar eclipse we’ll see until May 26, 2021.

At the time, the moon sat at the closest point to Earth in its orbit, causing it to appear massive in the night sky.
