Missile to the moon
NASA pressed two spacecrafts into the lunar south pole Friday morning in a search for clandestine ice. Instruments affirm that a broad abandoned rocket hull accelerated into the moon at exactly 7:31 a.m., followed 4 minutes later by a probe with some cameras taking pictures of the first crash. But basic pictures show that the moon didn’t give the acknowledgment to the double jabs that NASA awaited. And the public certainly didn’t get the live explosive views they may have looked forward to from the mission called LCROSS, which is short for Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite.
Screens got fuzz and no actual pictures of the crash or the six-mile plume of lunar dust that the mission was supposed to kick up for scientists to study. The public, which chased the crashes on the internet and at observatories, seemed pretty confused. Officials from NASA acclaimed loads of information from the probe and telescopes around the world and in orbit. But the crash videos and photos they submitted at a morning news conference were few and showed little more than a fuzzy white flash. The astonishing lack of photos of a plume could be because the plume was at a different angle, hit some slopes or wasn’t high enough to show up. Or the lunar soil could have reduced down and not tossed up as much dust as expected. If you would like to find out more about this interesting story, you can click here.
What are your opinions on this? I have a feeling they will discover some sort of water on the moon pretty soon. Would be interesting if they did.
