Hi Starlah
- Hmm, that IS curious. I didn't see the program - thanks for that. There definitely was a vacuum feeling to this whole impact build-up. And, then images with earth with no water. That would be a weird sight, i.e. ocean floors without the ocean. Weight loss!! but, maybe, interesting to 'see' underwater topography.
In the news -
Nasa's lunar crash landing fails to raise moon dust
The Guardian, Saturday 10 October 2009
Nasa's hope of filming a spectacular crash on the moon was dashed satellite and telescope imagery failed to record the enormous plume of rock and dust that scientists had predicted.
The US space agency steered two parts of a spacecraft, called LCROSS, into the moon at more than 5,600 miles per hour, in the final act of a hunt for signs of water.
Nasa scientists had anticipated that the impact would throw up a six-mile-high cloud of lunar dust and rock which could be scanned for evidence of frozen water. But after the collision at 12.31pm today, no sign of the plume was spotted, even from the second stage, which crashed nearby four minutes later.
