Hi Sean,
Perhaps the "rarity of such documented strikes is best explained by the
text....
"The video plays in 7x slow motion; otherwise the explosion would be nearly
invisible to the human eye. "The duration of the fireball was only
four-tenths of a second," says Cooke. "
Unless a very significant strike occurs [and it's being viewed....]

Just a quick question about something I'm studying... Is there a place
online with data, photos, or video from lunar meteorite impacts? Or is it
something that's so rare (like the recent colliding asteroids) that it's
not been recorded much and what is recorded isn't online? ;) I'm not
really interested in the seismic data per se, but any actual footage of
meteoroid impacts, and perhaps photos of the craters that were created by
the impacts? Is anyone doing this or compiling data besides NASA? I'm
very interested in this part of the science!
Something like this:

Are there more?
