"...No smoking in the observatory!"

Since the early 19th century, astronomers have reported observations of peculiar flashes of light that periodically emanate from near the center...
1836... Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society where he told of seeing “a light, resembling that of a star of the 9th or 10th magnitude,” “appeared by glimpses, but at times was brilliant, and visible for several seconds together.”
November 1965 edition of Understanding, the author noted observations of a single bright point of light, likened in appearance to a star, that seemed to originate from the center of the crater.
Aristarchus crater is host to more than one unusual luminous phenomenon that astronomers have observed over the years. There are also several recorded observations of an odd, reddish haze or glow that astronomers have witnessed around the crater. One such instance occurred on October 13th, 1959, as astronomer E.H. Rowe was observing the moon at approximately 7 PM from near Devon, UK.
“While observing the Moon with a 36-inch telescope my attention was directed to the crater Aristarchus,” Rowe said, describing a flash of light he said was “brilliantly white in color.” However, following his sighting of the bright flash, Rowe observed something even more spectacular.
“I was surprised to see a delicate yet bright reddish-amber glow in or near Aristarchus clearly outlined against the white background,” Rowe later wrote of his observation. “It was visible for only a few seconds. After it disappeared no trace remained to show it had been there.”
Just four years later, clusters of red lights were observed by astronomers at the Lowell Observatory between October 29 and November 27 over the nearby Herodotus crater, followed by a series of reddish spots observed “clustered in an oval formation along the south rim of the crater Aristarchus” on the evening of November 27.

Iron deposits from the meteor strike. Typical.
Crystalline structures emanating from the surface? Diamond, not silica. Now we're talking!
The following is from the NTRS - NASA Technical Reports Server...

I am fully confident that is the site of an ET welding shop.
You need a new keyboard. Your CAPSLOCK key’s broken again.
I was listening to a podcast last night about the light anomalies from the crater. Fascinating.
