I just sent a post under the old topic heading about vaguely
remembering this photo, and discounting it. But I just ran into a NASA
press release about the verification of this photo as an impact event,
#03-077 of 02-20-03. See, as soon as you blab on about how there ain't
no such thing, it pops up out of nowhere! Or, at least, it pops up out
of Google... Here's the story and the photo of an impact on the Moon.
