Always an interesting thing to witness, but I believe the “new” crater happened
2 years ago. But was just reported at Woodlands conference last week ???

I was initially wondering if the recent meteors in Chowchilla, Ca, Houston, and Pittsburgh was related…but probably not to this lunar event.

planetary scientist Mark Robinson reported March 17 at the Lunar and Planetary Sciences Meeting in The Woodlands, Texas.

The crater is 225 meters wide and formed in April or May 2024, Robinson said.
