Abstract
► We present a compilation of lunar flashes detections for the period 1999-2007. ► Lunar flashes are characterized by temperatures ranging from 2000 K to 3000 K. ► The analysis reveals a correlation between lunar flashes duration and magnitude. ► Geminid and Sporadic impacts may be distinguished from Leonid meteors. ► Lunar flashes radiations are dominated by a cloud of silicate melt droplets.
