There hasn't been much activity on the "LCROSS Impact" thread since a few weeks after the Oct 8 impact, so it seemed like a good place to break and start a new thread for results.
I don't know what results will be discussed this evening, but there is -- in about one hour from the time I post this -- going to be a live webcast and Q and A with PI Tony Colaprete.

The Hg detection continues to surprise me. However, if you consider it as a volatile, then it actually provides supporting evidence for the cold-trap mechanism.
In fact...WAG here, but since it's such a heavy element & much of the impact energy apparently was expended in vaporizing volatiles, does its presence explain the understated flash? -------------------- 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.
