      No danger to earth, moderate crater on the moon, and we get a fantastic meteor shower? Sign me up!

      December 22, 2032. 4% chance of occurring.

      The article mentions an impact with an estimate of 6.5 kilotons explosive yield.

      I would have thought it would be quite a bit more considering the size and relative velocity.

      Holy Kessler !

      It would wreck the use of near cislunar space for quite a bit, but then might also be a great source of mass for building things too.
