Second phase of NELIOTA lunar impact observations has ended

We announce the completion of the second phase of lunar impact observations in July 2023. The last two years of observations were funded by ESA via the CARMEN project and contributed 58 new, validated impact flashes. During the last 6.5 years of uninterrupted lunar monitoring, we have detected 187 impact flashes, which will be soon presented in a publication. Note that the ability to download data from the website will be paused by September 30. NELIOTA team members are involved in the science team of the LUMIO mission and will seek further funding from ESA in order to resume ground-based lunar monitoring observations with the Kryoneri telescope in 2024.
