A large lunar impact blast on 2013 September 11

On 2013 September 11 at 20h07m28.68s ± 0.01s UTC, two telescopes operated in the framework of our lunar impact flashes monitoring project recorded an extraordinary flash produced by the impact on the Moon of a large meteoroid at selenographic coordinates 17.2° ± 0.2° S, 20.5° ± 0.2° W. The peak brig...
