Association of the March 4 lunar impact with DSCOVR's jettisoned Falcon 9 second stage has been demonstrated to be a case of mistaken identity.  The subject of this thread has been changed accordingly.  In the attached revision, whose file name has also been changed, a fourth page has been added explaining this error's origin and relating a more rigorous analysis leading to the hypothesis this impactor was launched with the Chang'e 5-T1 mission.  Minor edits to Figure 1 's caption are also included.

Per the attached paper, an unplanned lunar impact is about to occur on the Moon's farside March 4.  This "bare bones" publication is being sent your way to enhance appreciation of this event in advance.  After the impact, a revision will likely be published to include any imagery of the resulting crater obtained by Moon-orbiting assets.  As always, your commentary is welcome.
