Rays
These fine radial streaks are simply refered to as rays. They are formed from the ejecta from the explosion, from the Moon being hit at high speed. You may see Related Links for more information on crater rays.
Lunar rays are bright bands of material thrown out very large distances from impact craters on the Moon. They are also seen on other planets, notably Mercury. They are thought to represent ejected material with a high level of iron oxide and similar materials.

The bright spots on the moon are usually impact craters where the sunlight reflects off the exposed lunar surface. These craters are formed when a meteorite or asteroid crashes into the moon, creating a depression on the surface. The bright appearance comes from the way sunlight interacts with the material in and around the crater.

They are called meteors. The particle making the bright streak of light that are known as a meteor, is a meteoroid. When it lands on the ground it is called a meteorite.

Light streaks in pictures are caused by overexposure to light, often due to a long exposure time or a bright light source. To prevent or minimize light streaks, you can adjust the exposure settings on your camera, use a lens hood to block excess light, or avoid shooting directly into bright light sources. Additionally, using a tripod can help stabilize the camera and reduce the chances of capturing unwanted light streaks.
