    Accepted for publication in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS) on 2019 March 29 MULTIWAVELENGTH OBSERVATIONS OF A BRIGHT IMPACT FLASH DURING THE JANUARY 2019 TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE José M. Madiedo 1, José L. Ortiz 2, Nicolás Morales 2, Pablo Santos-Sanz 2 1 Facultad de Ciencias Experimentales, Universidad de Huelva. 21071 Huelva (Spain). 2 Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía, CSIC, Apt. 3004, Camino Bajo de Huetor 50, 18080 Granada, Spain. ABSTRACT We discuss here a lunar impact flash recorded during the total lunar eclipse that occurred on 2019 January 21, at 4h 41m 38.09 ± 0.01 s UT. This is the first time ever that an impact flash is unambiguously recorded during a lunar eclipse and discussed in the scientific literature, and the first time that lunar impact flash observations in more than two wavelengths are reported. The impact event was observed by different instruments in the framework of the MIDAS survey. It was also spotted by casual observers that were taking images of the eclipse. The flash lasted 0.28 seconds and its peak luminosity in visible band was equivalent to the brightness of a mag. 4.2 star. The projectile hit the Moon at the coordinates 29.2 ± 0.3 ºS, 67.5 ± 0.4 ºW. In this work we have investigated the most likely source of the projectile, and the diameter of the new crater generated by the collision has been calculated. In addition, the temperature of the lunar impact flash is derived Accepted for publication in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS) on 2019 March 29 from the multiwavelength observations.
