What would the scientific community's reaction be to a sudden volcanic eruption from a moonquake(s)?

It is thought that the Moon has a partially molten outer core, with a radius of around 560km.
- It would be very surprising if this partially molten rock was able to make it to the surface, at a radius of 1700km
- The large basalt "seas" filled large impact craters when the Moon was much younger, and the molten core was much closer to the surface.

Amateur astronomers have occasionally photographed bright spots appearing on the moon.
- These are attributed to large meteorites striking the Moon, creating an explosion of hot rock and leaving behind a new crater.
- I do wonder whether the traditional Moslem flag with a star in the crescent Moon was a particularly large event of this type?
      - I am sure that Arab astronomers knew that no stars could appear on the Moon's dark side
      - And so the sudden/temporary appearance of just such an event may have created quite an impact on their astronomical minds???

Surprise and curiosity - the scientific reaction to all rare events.

For about the first second, nothing at all.

Hot dogs?
Marshmallows?

And a space suit.
