“The Centaur rocket will strike first, transforming 2200 kg of mass and 10 billion joules of kinetic energy into a blinding flash of heat and light. Researchers expect the impact to throw up a plume of debris as high as 10 km. Close behind, the LCROSS mothership will photograph the collision for NASA TV and then fly right through the debris plume. Onboard spectrometers will analyze the sunlit plume for signs of water (H2O), water fragments (OH), salts, clays, hydrated minerals and assorted organic molecules.” That’s how NASA described how it would happen and that’s exactly how it did. However, for most of us observing on earth
through live streaming, we hardly saw a thing. Maybe, we needed to see it through a powerful telescope. Maybe they had a better view. The impact must have been so tiny compared to the size of the moon that cameras on board the orbiting satellite hardly captured it. Anyway, if you still want to watch the footage, here it is. The LCROSS NASA moon bombing impact video replay. Watch the video shot of the LCROSS moon impact and see if you can see a thing. Good luck. (In case you’re wondering, the video posted below IS already the one from NASA.)
