Not a chance. Hubble, for example, has a resolution on the moon of about 60m/pixel. A Kaguya like impact would make a crater perhaps half the size, with an ejecta perhaps of one pixel, maybe two. Certainly indistinguishable from normal Lunar gardening without a similar 'before' image to compare it to. LRO will go hunting for it - I'm sure. Optimistic John |

Just a remark: On the day after the impact, it was stated on the mission's homepage that the scientific data will be released to the public on 1st of November this year. It was mentioned right after the call for any observer who was able to capture the impact to send in the imagery for being put up on the website soon. For the life of me, I seem unable to dig out that particular article again. Anyways, I marked November 1st on my calendar. I can't wait to play around with the global elevation data... Not sure if you found it already, but if you look at:http://www.jaxa.jp/topics/2009/06_e.html down under the June 11th update you will see some words to that effect and a link to this press release: http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2009/06/20090611_kaguya_e.html --Darin |

Just exchanged emails with Shin-ichi Sobue from JAXA -- I inquired whether they were on schedule for their planned public data release. He said:
QUOTE About data release, we still plan to open L2 products (processed data) to public via Internet on November 1st or 2nd. We will announce it as press release before opening data to public. Keep your eye peeled!

While we're waiting for the data release, we can watch some nice fly-along movies taken by the HDTV. Fifteen new ones have been posted on the Jaxa channel on YouTube.

I'm unsure if this type of thing has been posted yet, so here is an animation (by Ivica Stošić) using a shape model from Kaguya, that I spotted online:

Looks like that image is mirror-flipped- swapping the top and bottom puts the Pacific coast of South America, and islands in the Caribbean, in their expected places.
