Thanks for the link, MahFL! Slooh was rained and clouded out at both locations.
Cloudy here... -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

I didn't see anything...
but the R/T lithobraking was cool! Dim flash suggests soil impact rather than rocks...good news! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

I never saw an impact flash (at least one that I recognized as such).
Is what we saw the best quality LCROSS images? -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

NASA TV showing the IR now. There's a hotspot, all right.

I think that's just a sunlit crater rim nprev. Zvez, that mid-IR image is just mostly noise from excessively high gain after the last sunlit hotspots went out of frame.

QUOTE (Zvezdichko @ Oct 9 2009, 06:44 AM)  Is this the hot spot anyway? Looks like the hot, sunlit peak of a crater rim. |
