You guys hear about the impact on the moon?

I'm wondering if anyone has had a chance to observe that area recently, or when it will be able to be observed. I'm not even sure if evidence of the impact will be able to be detected.

The crater is only 10 ft. in diameter. It won't be visible from Earth.

Even the Hubble can only resolve to about 300ft.

Yah I seen the article, but I figured us earthlings wouldn't be able to see it.
