Popis:	We consider that the report by William Herschel on April 19 and 20, 1787, about an erupting volcano on the moon were really the observations of impact melt, produced by a meteorite from the Lyrid meteor shower. According to our investigation the probably resulting crater of this event is a lunar cold spot, with coordinates similar to those given in Herschel report, and we also argue that this impact has very young characteristics. Comment: In this replacement we corrected a misspelled reference name and typos
