NASA Plans to Crash Two Spacecrafts into Moon's Surface on Friday

NASA has planned to crash two spacecrafts traveling with 5400 mph into the surface of moon on Friday morning October 9 at 4:31:19 a.m. PDT, to blow up some moon surface and find water.

As it races toward the moon, the Lunar CRater Observing and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) will launch the still-attached upper stage of the Atlas V Centaur rocket to strike the moon first and create a cloud of debris that LCROSS will analyze for about four minutes before it gets cratered and creates its own cloud. Scientists are greatly hoping to discover water after the impact.

You won't be able to see the crash with naked eyes or binoculars from Earth, but it is expected to be visible with Earth- and space-based telescopes 10-to-12 inches and larger.
