For those who haven't heard, a few weeks ago it was announced that =
Stuart's Flash was tied to a fresh-looking crater in images from the =
Clementine lunar orbiter ("NASA Solves Half-Century Old Moon Mystery"):

It has more recently been demonstrated that this crater also appears in =
pre-1953 images, so it could NOT have been caused by the flash:

I assume the purpose of the ALPO request is to identify other craters in =
the area that could be associated with the flash.
