Here are 2 films made from Kaguya Orbiter archive material. The content is heavily processed for viewing on a large 4k TV, where it looks good. Don't get too close though.

Just the other day, I was looking for Kaguya impact and found something like this (This might be the actual Kaguya impact site as the satellite was not greater than 4ms in it's length breadth or height)

Gorgeous as always! Took me a while to realize that I was looking at Earthrise/sunrise at the start of that first sequence.

Here is a 4 hour film of Kaguya Orbiter archive converted to real time.

Denoised, repaired, graded & retimed.

"Just the other day, I was looking for Kaguya impact and found something like this"

Shan shows a crater with a dark streak pointing north. This would be a possible Kaguya impact site, but it leaves me with two questions.

The first is - where is this little crater? A wider image showing the context would be very useful. Is is near the expected impact site? (also, was the expected site found using a good topographic model? The analysis done at the time needs to be repeated with the best current topography and trajectory information)

The second is - what does the site look like under different lighting conditions? We need to rule out the possibility that the dark streak is just topographic shading.

If this feature is on the expected trajectory and the downrange (north-pointing) ejecta fan looks similar under both morning and afternoon illumination then it is a good candidate.

Phil, Here you go these might be the one

Impact co-ordinates - Quickmap link

Attached pic shows the actual impact location which is near to the co-ordinates published by JAXA (-65.5, 80.4)

These 2 images shows the impact in different incidence and Azimuth angles
http://wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc/view_lroc/LRO....0/M103998460LC (38542,4758) - Incidence 77, North Azimuth 130
http://wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc/view_lroc/LRO....0/M106355309LC (32822,3298) - Incidence 68, North Azimuth 104
http://wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc/view_lroc/LRO...0/M1266593512RC (16668,1248) - Incidence 70, North Azimuth 104
http://wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc/view_lroc/LRO...0/M1115966519RC (47326,2900) - Incidence 68, North Azimuth 103
http://wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc/view_lroc/LRO...0/M1157266687RC (23572,2120) - Incidence 86, North Azimuth 87

The last one might be somewhat intriguing and there are many more pics of the same area from LRO
