Reba Prabhakhar, a first-year student majoring in physics and applied math and statistics, is contributing to NASA's Impact Flash! project, which studies the frequency of meteoroid impacts on the moon. The moon, devoid of an atmosphere, is frequently struck by meteoroids that create flashes of light upon impact. Prabhakhar notes that historical data on these flashes is limited, with only a couple of hundred pages of observations from the 20th century. By encouraging global volunteers to capture videos of the moon through telescopes, the project aims to enhance the understanding of how often these flashes occur and the craters they create. This research is particularly relevant during the Artemis II mission, where astronauts are also monitoring lunar impacts. Prabhakhar emphasizes the importance of collaboration in citizen science, stating that multiple observations from different locations increase confidence in the data collected. Her involvement exemplifies how students can contribute meaningfully to significant scientific research.
