On September 11, 2013 Jose Maria Madiedo, professor at the University of Huelva, was observing the Moon with two telescopes, when he saw a glow at "Sea of Clouds", Mare Nobium.
After that "powerful" glow, he recorded for eight seconds, a dim light coming from the same area on the surface of the Moon.
According to his calculations, the asteroid weighted about 400 kg, had a diameter of 60 to 140 cm and the speed at moment of the impact reached 60,000 kilometers per hour.
