Lunar Meteorite Quiz - How big an object with velocity to get a new Lunar Meteoroid to Earth?

Lunar Meteorite Quiz - How big an object with velocity to get a new Lunar Meteoroid to Earth?

Any impact on the Moon that can accelerate a rock of any size to
lunar escape velocity, ~ 2.38 km/s, will result in a lunar
meteoroid. The papers below argue that much of that stuff will
eventually land on Earth. Known transit times range from less than a
few hundred years for Kalahari 008/009 to almost 20 million years for
Dhofar 025. The ones that take a long time were in heliocentric orbit.
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1995Icar..118..302G


-----------------------
Other important resource about Lunar Meteorites-
For those that are interested in transit times and lunar impacts that result in Lunar Meteorites here on Earth, Dr. Randy Korotev has written a very good summary on this topic and his website answers the basic questions posed-
http://meteorites.wustl.edu/lunar/

Some of the questions answered are-
How Did Lunar Meteorites Get Here?
Do All Lunar Meteorites Come from One Big Impact on the Moon?
Does It Take a Big Impact to Launch
a Lunar Meteoroid?
and many more. 
Take a read of his website written for the Washington University in St. Louis.
Thank you Dr. Korotev!

Dirk Ross...Tokyo

P.S. The reason I posed the question in the first place was because of the recent announcement about a large lunar impact recorded on the Moon-
http://lunarmeteoritehunters.blogspot.jp/2014/02/biggest-observed-meteorite-impact-hits.html

It would be so cool if something was launched from this most recent large Moon impact that was witnessed from Earth and it makes it here to the Earth in the coming years!

AstroCrafts: How To Create Constellation Coasters
TEXT AND PHOTOS BY KATHLEEN HORNER, BASED ON A CONCEPT BY 'ALMOST MAKES PERFECT'
For our AstroCrafts project we will create constellation coasters. I made some really cool coasters out of foam core board. You can also use ceramic tiles which is probably the best as far as durability.
You can hang them individually in a grouping or place them on a ribbon runner. First, I will share how I created these beautiful coasters with foam core board and then provide a tutorial link on making them from ceramic tiles.

Ron Saunders: Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle
These paintings investigate how our desire to find our place in the universe can result in a deeper understanding in what we observe. There is a recognition that what we observe may not have always been the same, that the very action of observing may impact the end result.

MPD Incident Report #2014-60435.
02/26/2014 - 11:52 PM
Address 600 block S. Whitney Way (Westgate Mall)
Details It was another frigid night, in a city where one would think a glimpse of warmth on the horizon would be embraced by those weary of this winter's stubborn grasp. But what one veteran officer witnessed – while most were tucked away in their beds - was not a sign of spring. In fact, he initially feared there might be casualties.
The officer was parked near Westgate Mall's Hy-Vee store when suddenly, just before midnight, a "large bright white fireball" pierced the cold night sky.
"The object was moving extremely fast and would have without question struck the ground." That is what the officer initially thought.
A colleague confirmed he had just witnessed the same "long fire trail" as he drove his squad car along Old Sauk Rd.
The initial officer was able to capture the moment on squad car video. Looking at it, it did appear the object could have fallen near a local television tower. The officer drove there and could find nothing out of the ordinary.
He checked, and the FAA reported no large planes in the area. No longer fearing a catastrophic event, the officer took a few moments to further process what he had seen, and as he did, he began to believe whatever fell from the sky could have tumbled a long, long distance away. "I did not see any impact flash or hear an impact," he concluded.
In the end, he thought it likely a meteor or some space junk that momentarily heated up an otherwise cold night of routine patrol.
