The impact of the Japanese probe Kaguya on the Moon was observed on June 10, 2009 with IRIS2 on the Anglo-Australian Telescope, observers there said. A bright impact flash was seen close to the predicted time. The attached image shows four frames around the impact time with the bright flash in the second frame, and also faintly visible in the third and fourth. The observations used a 2.3 micron narrow band filter, and are part of a time series of 1 second exposures with 0.6 seconds dead time between each frame.
