The moon has been bombarded by meteorites for billions of years.

Meteorites are usually made of iron.

What’s wrong with calling this a shooting star?

–It’s not a star. It’s a meteoroid burning up from the friction in the atmosphere.

Torino Scale A collision is certain, capable of causing localized destruction for an impact over land or possibly a tsunami if close offshore. 9A collision is certain, capable of causing unprecedented regional devastation for a land impact or the threat of a major tsunami for an ocean impact. 10A collision is certain, capable of causing global climatic catastrophe that may threaten the future of civilization as we know it, whether impacting on land or ocean. Such events occur on average once per 100,000 years, or less often
