Records of meteor impacts on the moon exist and scientists use techniques like lunar seismometers and direct observation to monitor them. The Apollo missions placed seismometers and more recent missions like the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter have provided data. Direct observation using telescopes is also done by the Lunar Impact Monitoring Project, a collaboration between NASA and amateur astronomers.
