I haven't seen any telescope shots of the rocket crash on #TheMoon.
I watched a live stream of a guy with a big amateur scope and he couldn't see anything.
I figured one of the big observatory ones might catch at least a plume. Anybody seen any pics yet?

@SecularJeffrey@ohai.social "We can confirm that the telescope detected spectral lines of sodium and lithium gas in the impact plume lasting for 5-10 minutes after impact," an ESO spokesperson told Reuters. https://www.yahoo.com/news/science/articles/piece-spacex-rocket-crash-moon-195357791.html Not what you're looking for, I know.
