Moon Explosion, As you read this a satellite is rocketing at 2,668 mph on a one-way trip to the moon. Early Friday morning, NASA scientists plan to drive two pieces of the satellite into the surface of the moon to look for signs of water.

At approximately 4:30 a.m. PST on Friday, the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) and a Centaur rocket will hurl into the surface of the moon while the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) watches from orbit. The probe’s twin impacts will kick up two giant dust clouds that should be visible via telescope from Earth. Using the LRO, the Hubble Space Telescope and hundreds of other terrestrial telescopes, scientists will analyze the plumes for signs of water molecules amid the lunar dust.
