This happened to the asteroid that hit Earth in 2008, and its parts were scattered over a wide longitudinal area in the Nubian Desert in Northern Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>What distinguishes this series of impacts, he added, is that they occurred within a short time (one minute) and were of greater brightness than usual.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, their flash periods were relatively long, as periods of up to a quarter of a second were recorded in each impact and this is considered a long time for such events. It is noticeable that these impacts spread in the middle of the dark eastern side of the Moon at the time of observation and spread over a distance of 1,000km on its surface.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Hamid M.K. Al Naimiy, Chancellor of the University of Sharjah, General Director of SAASST and President of the Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences, said the impacts were observed using the Sharjah Lunar Impacts Observatory Telescope (SLIO).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt consists of a three-metre-high dome equipped with a 14-inch Meade telescope and many sensitive instruments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The SLIO telescope conducts ground monitoring of the dark part of the Moon to determine the rates and sizes of large meteoroids that hit its surface.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is to enhance understanding of lunar impacts\u2019 effects on space missions, which in turn helps protect and facilitate manned space missions.
