Abstract
The consequences of a hypothesis that the temporary enhancement of the Kepler area in the red, observed on Nov. 1-2, was caused by the luminescence of lunar ground covered by meteoritic debris, similar in composition to the samples induced to luminesce under proton bombardment simulating the solar wind, are developed. If the tentative explanation of lunar observations proves to be correct, the enhancement in brightness of the Kepler region on the night of Nov. 1-2 represents the first case on record when the luminescence of lunar ground can be related with specific solar events and would also constitute a proof of the fact that the crater Kepler was produced by impact of a stony meteorite.
