in all honesty you aint missing much - thought they were going to zoom in on the moons surface - haven't done that yet...

Look just left of centre of the moon on the shaddow line.

The arrow head is exiting upper right of the heart shape!

Bless

I thought these critters only lived close to earths atmosphere?

The moon seems a bit far away.

EXcellent! Haven't heard that in quite a while. Bowie is an all-time favorite.

I'd say that too, if I was watching live streaming video of moon critters.

heh. On the NASA tv channel, they're doing interviews intermingled with moon shot flashbacks. O, joy.

Oh wait, better still, I get to watch tthe Flight Director watch his monitor.

Don't forget about the LRO. The LRO satellite will start taking Hi-res pictures of the moon real soon (in a few weeks, I think) -- much sooner than October.

LCROSS's camera isn't as good as the one on LRO, so even if they did zoom in at this distance, I doubt the pictures would be very detailed anyway.

I like the interviews; I find them to be very interesting -- but I'm just a science nerd.

I enjoy them as well, my fellow nerd, I'm just on the downside of a tantrum, that's all They're detailing some of the variables of the topography now, which is pretty interesting.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but the moon (as seen from earth) is now in "New Moon" phase -- which means all of the "lit" portions of the moon are on the far side...

...so this streaming video is showing the far side of the Moon right now.

Thats just coincidence ofcourse.

Yes, you will be purely because most of us have recordable dvd's etc now.

So does anyone have a link or video of this flyby? I would love to see some of this footage.

Nope. As you may know, 33 is a very significant number for Masons.

www.nasa.gov...

It seems like it just ended??

Crap!

The LRO will be in low orbit of the moon for a year at least. Expect some great images from it. The LCROSS is just a rocket with a video camera, its main objective is to blast a crater in the moon surface.





I think it was awesome live footage of the far side of the moon, first time ive seen such video ever. I too noticed that NASA cut video two short moments, something with electrical, who knows.

I'm sure we won't see anything due to a "tape" delay, or "feed" delay.

I'd love to see that the moon has a population of a few hundred thousand and when they beam back pictures of the McDonalds with the Fly-Thru it's all gonna be revealed then!

Found a video of pictures of the fly by on youtube. not what i was expecting. :-(

S+F for your work though
