Scientific paper

The hypothesis of Hartung (1976) that the impact formation of lunar crater Giordano Bruno (103 deg east, 36 deg north) was observed and recorded 800 years ago is considered in the context of data from the Luna 24 mission and laser range observations. It is concluded that the event would certainly have been visible and that current determinations of the free libration in longitude in the moon's rotation are consistent with the hypothesis. Such a study cannot prove Hartung's interpretation, but it is nonetheless supportive of it.
