I am sorry but that first image seems to me rather underwhelming.

The truth surfaces....

""There's not going to be these grand, spectacular images of ejecta flying, kind of what you've seen in animations or cartoons," LCROSS principal investigator Tony Colaprete told reporters Thursday. "It's going to be more of a muted shimmer of light, but that muted shimmer of light contains all the information we need to answer our questions."


I wonder what % of people watching knew about that statement........I did not.

I just watched the replay, seems they underestimated the bandwidth needed, also were getting confused as to which camera they were talking about, and the main commentator of course said "I am not sure what we saw, which translates to "we did not really see anthying just now did we.....?".

They seemed pleased at LOS, presumebly confident they hit the Moon !

A newclear bomb ?

Yes but the whole episode was over-hyped. Todays public expects to see what they expect to see !
A pixel or 2 on a camera ain't going to do it. As a co-worker said "is that all we get for 79 million ?"

I was watching MMT and the closeup did seem a bit blurry. The other view seemed ok.

Maybe they impacted a lunar bog ?

I would say it's a safe bet if water is found in a shadowed crater, it's a common thing that could be found in ALL solar systems.

I saw NOTHING !!!!, thats my story and I am sticking to it.

Can't watch video at work . I'll make do with JSC stills.

Good morning all.

Can anyone tell us how far away and how high those mountains are ?
Thanks.

A far far better report. Good to see media coverage.

I can't watch video at work so I'll have to do with this.

KSC still.

"NASA to Bomb the Moon Friday "
Good god......

"....on a mission to fire a missile into the south pole of the moon that is twice the speed of a bullet..."

nice reporting....

Link.

I like where Nelson says they will never give up .

Cracked soldering and or wires could have happened at any time during the mission. If it does happen I guess you then deal with it, but to try drive out "just in case of a crack" is not the best policy.

Very nice.

I can't watch movies at work, but I have the still image from KSC of nasa TV.

At the bottem it says
"Check back at www.nasa.gov/hubble at 11 a.m. EDT on Thursday, Sept. 9, for more images from the recently refurbished telescope".

Isn't the 9th Wednesday ? like today....?

Earlier this week I was stretching my legs outside my office and was looking along a concrete footpath that runs north/south, on it were cast long shadows of grass stalks made by the low morning sun. It reminded me of the rings of Saturn.

That page appears empty to my IE browser.

That sunset, from yesterday...is really amazing.

It's really been 5.5 years ?

I think 100's of metres of wheel turns might equate to a metre of real movement ?
