- "I was able to catch the biggest lunar impact flash in my observation history! This is a picture of the lunar impact flash that appeared at 20:14:30.8 on February 23, 2023, taken from my home in Hiratsuka (replayed at actual speed). It was a huge flash that continued to shine for more than 1 second. Since the moon has no atmosphere, meteors and fireballs cannot be seen, and the moment a crater is formed, it glows."
- "This is a picture of the lunar impact flash at 20:14:30.8 on February 23, 2023, captured by another telescope (playback at actual speed). At that time, the altitude of the moon was only 7 degrees, and I was glad that I could stick to the limit. At the time of observation, there was no satellite passing over the lunar surface, and from the way it shines, it is highly likely that it is a lunar impact flash."
- "This is a still image of the lunar impact flash at 20:14:30.8 on February 23, 2023. It seems to have fallen near Ideler L crater, slightly northwest of Pitiscus crater. Because it is so bright, the generated crater is large, and the striations are clearly visible. It seems that the telephoto camera of NASA's lunar probe LRO can detect the fall trace."
