From the NBC News account*, I see a familiar name: " And though it may be surprising to see an object strike the moon during a lunar eclipse, it’s not uncommon for the moon to get whacked.
According to Randy Korotev, a lunar geochemist at Washington University in St. Louis, these impacts happen a lot on the moon. “I’m not at all surprised that they may have seen an impact,” Korotev said in an email. “The moon gets hit every day.”" Too bad the News folks didn't take the opportunity to request, and publish, any info on comparative energy yields of typical "daily" impacts, and the likely magnitude of the witnessed event. * https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/mach/amp/ncna961441 ______________________________________________ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
