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