Excerpting:

There's a new crater on the Moon.
It's about 14 meters wide, 3 meters deep.
On May 2, 2006, a meteoroid hit the Moon's Sea of Clouds (Mare Nubium) =

with 17 billion joules of kinetic energy=97about the same as 4 tons of =

TNT,"

... impact fireball was video-recorded using a 10-inch telescope.
... "stuff hits the Moon all the time," but this is the best-ever =

recording of an explosion in progress:

"The duration of the fireball was only four-tenths of a second,"
Taking into account the duration of the flash and its brightness (7th =

magnitude), Cooke was able to estimate the energy of impact, the =

dimensions of the crater, and the size and speed of the meteoroid. "It =

was a space rock about 10 inches (25 cm) wide travelling 85,000 mph =

(38 km/s)," he says.

If a rock like that hit Earth, it would never reach the ground.
"A 10-inch meteoroid would disintegrate in mid-air, making a =

spectacular fireball in the sky but no crater."
