From Earth with the naked eye, the Moon is pretty small. If a nuclear weapon were detonated on the Moon, would it be visible from Earth? Would it make a difference if the device were detonated during local daytime (in full sunlight) as far as visibility is concerned?
If it makes a difference, assume cloudless night (for observer, on surface of Earth) and W88 warhead (475 kiloton) detonating at whatever altitude is traditional. (Calling it "airburst" would seem inaccurate!)
