Crater Sally Ride

[Josh Wilson]

I don't know if you heard earlier this week but two Moon orbiters crashed into the surface of the moon creating a crater. I'm wondering if anyone knows where to find this crater if at all possible. Is it even on the Earth side of the Moon? Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure I remember reading it was on the Earth side, but was in darkness at the time of impact

Ahhh found it....

Near Goldschmidt crater. I reckon it's visible... I'll check.

Goldschmidt crater is at 73.0* N, 3.8* W. But I can't find a site with the coordinates of Sally Ride crater...

The graphic looks to be the impact sites, but theres nothing in the text to say so.
