Tony, thanks for that update! I actually talked to someone about this when I wrote the book (and I cannot remember who now; it's been several years) and used what they said. I'm glad to get the scoop from you.

I worked on some of those observations; specifically the STIS spectra of the Lunar Prospector impact. Unfortunately, they didn't work out. I was so into getting that data, and was bitterly disappointed when I saw them. Sigh.
