Nice find, got confused by the video. I was looking for a big fireball (me with a degree in astrophysics) not a small dot-like flash

No way!

Another crater on the moon? That's amazing .

You're such a loser Pia, always nay-saying
It might not be amazing, but it is useful to know. If the cratering rate on the Moon can be studied, it would allow greater accuracy for the determination of the age of the Moon, and hence the age of the solar system, so nyer.
