Slooh.com: On September 11th, 2013, an asteroid approximately 2 to 4.5 feet across (.6 to 1.4 meters) and traveling at an estimated speed of 37,900 mph (61,000 Km/h) smashed into the lunar surface causing a crater roughly 131 feet ( 40 meters) wide. The explosion was so great that individuals looking at the Moon at that very moment in time would have seen the blast as it lasted over 8 seconds!
