This latest discovery is an exceptional event:

Most LIF events recorded in the Lunar impact Flashes pro-am project are fainter than mag 7 and would produce a much smaller crater and much less debris

Thaty’s amazing Alex.
Would be cool if they found a LIF crater.
Hopefully they are using their computing resources to search for them.Hi Michael,
The brightest LIFs we (including you) recorded since last December are mag 7 at best, so they would produce much smaller craters. They are mostly fragile cometary debris. Larger, denser asteroidal material is favoured for crater formation.
The more mutual, confirming LIF observations we get, the better we can estimate the lunar lat./long. of the impact site for checking in the LRO survey images.
Fingers crossed!
Alex.
