Every day, tiny asteroids and meteoroids hit Earth’s neighbourhood - most too small to notice. But on the airless Moon, their impacts light up as brilliant flashes.

That’s where our new NELIOTA-III project comes in. Using a powerful telescope in Greece, scientists are capturing these flashes in real time - turning the Moon into a natural laboratory for planetary defence.

From the first validated flash of this campaign to a special eclipse observation attempt, Europe is now leading the way in studying near-Earth objects and building an open database for the world’s scientific community.
