Lights glow on Moon
Light site: The mighty crater Langrenus, 136 km across
By BBC News Online science editor Dr David Whitehouse
New evidence shows that the Moon is not a totally dead world as
was thought by many astronomers. It does still occasionally
stir with activity. Even though they have been reported from
time to time for hundreds of years claims of changes on the
lunar surface have always been controversial. Many scientists
have dismissed the occasional reported sightings of glows and
mists hanging over certain lunar features.
Clouds of light were seen dancing inside the crater
Now a French astronomer has obtained some of the most definite
proof yet that occasionally something does disturb the lunar
surface.
It was seen in 1992 by veteran lunar observer Audouin Dollfus of
the Observatoire de Paris using the one metre (39 inch) Meudon
reflecting telescope. He has only just finished analysing the
results, and has submitted them for publication.
Fading light
On 30 December, he noticed a series of glows on the floor of the
large crater Langrenus. They were definitely not there the day
before. Professor Dollfus observed them for several days before
they faded. Each time he returned to the telescope he noticed
that the shape of the glows had changed.
He believes that the glows are due to escaping gas that lifts
dust above the lunar surface into sunlight.
Some lunar observers have expressed surprise that such a mist
should have been seen above Langrenus which was not regarded as
a prime candidate for lunar changes.
Professor Dolfuss points out that Langrenus, when observed in
detail, has an
extensive series of fractures on its crater floor and the gas
could be escaping from these.
So-called "Transient Lunar Phenonemon" (TLP) have been reported
from time to time but definite evidence has been lacking.
Responding to observations from the ground, Neil Armstrong was
asked to look for glows on the Moon during the Moon landing in
July 1969. He reported seeing a part of the Moon glow, but later
could not be sure which region it was.
In 1994, the Clementine lunar orbiting satellite observed the
crater Aristarchus before and after a TLP was seen from the
Earth. Clementine spectral data suggested that parts of the
crater had changed colour slightly.

Moon Mystery Emerges From The X-files
by Charles Seife
Pasadena - October 21, 1999 - Reports of curious flashes and fleeting clouds on the Moon may not be figments of wild imaginations, astronomers say. A new look at observations by the American satellite Clementine show that a small area on the Moon's surface darkened and reddened in April 1994. Why this happened remains a mystery.
For hundreds of years, people have reported seeing flashes, short-lived clouds and other brief changes on the Moon's surface. But astronomers have never been able to confirm the sightings. "The events were observed on many occasions, but most astronomers don't believe in them," says Bonnie Buratti of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
On 23 April 1994, around a hundred amateur astronomers
reported seeing a possible darkening of the Moon, lasting 40
minutes, near the edge of the bright lunar crater Aristarchus.
At the same time, the US Department of Defense's Clementine
satellite was mapping the lunar surface.
Intrigued by the amateur reports, Buratti's team has taken a
close look at the Clementine data to see if the satellite
also recorded the event. Sure enough, they found
that the crater looked different before and after the amateur
reports. "After the event, it looks redder," says Buratti, who
announced the findings at a meeting of the American
Astronomical Society in Padua, Italy, last week.
Winifred Cameron, a retired astronomer who worked at theLowell Observatory in Arizona, thinks that brief colour changes might be caused by small gaseruptions throwing dust around. We know that there are pockets of gas in the lunar soil, and the gas mayoccasionally escape. "I'm pretty sure that some of these changes are due to emanations of gas that are more dense than usual," says Cameron. "The Aristarchus region is the source of about a third of all of these.
