LUNAR IMPACT: This Friday morning, Oct 9th, at approximately 4:30 am PDT, NASA's LCROSS spacecraft and its Centaur booster rocket will plunge one after another into a shadowed crater near the Moon's south pole. The spectacular double-impact will be shown live on NASA TV from the point of view of the LCROSS spacecraft. Meanwhile, impact debris plumes emerging from the crater may be visible through backyard telescopes. North American sky watchers west of the Mississippi river are favored with darkness and good views of the Moon at the time of impact.

Saw an animated picture of that on the news last night.
Hope it doesn't de-stabilize the moon in any way. After seeing the latest sci-fi, made-for-TV, mini-movie on network TV this past summer.....this NASA news is creepy. :bigg: In fact, I think the movie was called "Impact"! :newlmao:

One thing for sure is that if there is ice (water) in the vicinity of the crash, it is now polluted. :whistle:
