Emily posted a very nice article in her blog on the SMART-1 lunar impact in September this year. Here's a map of the targeted point:
But as Emily explained, the actual point may be off because of uncertainties about topography. I'm starting this thread to have a place for news and opinions on it, and - I really hope - maybe some observations at the time from any amateur astronomers out there. This event will be the last event to make it into my atlas. I've left a space for it, and I will make the final maps and fit them in, and then send the stuff off to the publisher. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Rodolfo Source : Ciel et Espace of September 2006 ESA has organised of network from South Africa to Hawaii able to observe the moon from 7pm to 8 am. Two instruments will be able to detect the melt of aluminium : VLT (in Chile) and Salt in South Africa. Rodolfo, you've rigth in the good spot . Nevertheless, they say that, due to some hills on the way of the trajectory, impact could occurs 5 to 7 hours before. They'll know better the day before the crash. -------------------- |
