Now the race is on to find the fireball... there's a slim chance that it's in some earlier data from that night.
Sigh, it's SL9 all over again, when the impact was around the limb and not visible.
I've been reminded that it's 15 years to the day since one of the SL9 impacts. How weird.
More images coming soon.
cheers, Bird

You must be feeling very surreal at the moment Anthony.
Waiting for it all to unfold.

It's truly strange. Add to that coming back inside at 3am to see the end of the golf as well... that was also a surreal finish.

Just heard about this over at
slashdot.org .
This would explain why your website is inaccessible.

This is quite interesting stuff.
I reckon it'd be great if as many of us as possible at IIS set up tonight and attempted to capture/confirm these markings.
Perhaps Mike/Anthony could provide links to where where we can send our data for comparison/analysis?
This is exciting.

Yes, I figured that was the cause :-)
I'll keep posting the images here as well, (sorry Mike) ...

I actually saw the SL9 big one hit. The fireball was immense and the scar left was not much larger (I think) than the one you found. Great find.

Great work, Anthony.
So what have we got:-

First images of LEM remnants on the Moon
Shuttle launch
Largest number of space travellers to date in earth orbit
Longest total solar eclipse of the century
Impact on Jupiter captured
Now we just need Eta Carina to go Ka-boom to complete the fun!

Are you sure it's not a mass of black monoliths?
