The one that's supposed to throw up debris that will be visible from
Earth? I read that it would impact between April and August 2009.


Oct. 9


AFAICS, Oct 9 is not between April and August 2009.

2009-06-10 Wed - Selene/Kaguya, JAXA, impacted Moon.

(Chang'e-1, China, lunar orbiter; hard-landed 2009-03-01 )
