New Moon Meteor Impact

I was on bbc today and saw this. Apparently this impact event was recorded on september by spanish astronomers. The meteor was traveling around 38000km/h when it impacted.

Fascinating. I can't imagine what it'd be like to see it shoot across the lunar horizon far away from the impact zone.

Surely not saying anything until now is going to drive the conspiracy nuts wild....

Might have to put a thicker roof on my habitats!!!
