Debunking the Viral Video: Unmasking the Truth Behind the Moon Striking Object

A viral video depicting an impact and explosion on the surface of the Moon has been debunked as fake. The video, originally posted on YouTube by user Diego Sinclair, was computer-generated and not an authentic event. While objects colliding with the Moon can create bright flashes of light, they are not caused by fire or combustion, as depicted in the video. Instead, the flashes are a result of the thermal glow of molten rock and hot vapors at the impact site. The video's creator admitted it was an edited video, leading to its rating as fake.
