A volennle eruption on the moon was observed -on the night of November 3 by the Soviet astronomer, Nicholas Kozyrev, of the. Crimean astrophysical observatory, the Tass news agency reported today. Alexander Mikhailov, President of the Astro- nomical Council of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, after examining Kozyrev's spectographs of the eruption, said there was no doubt of the nature of the phenomenon.

He added the event brought into question all the generally accepted theories as to the origin of the moon's surface configuration.

It was an event which would be of concern to future astronauts, he added.
