  • Don't expect to see anything.

  • Thanks guys for posting this video from the giant 36" Lick refractor scope. This is the only earth-based video that I've been able to find. Keep up the great work.

    I pulled out my little Nexstar 11 and couldn't see much, so it's nice to know what the professional astronomers had access to on the night of the LCROSS impact, despite the fact that your telescope is over 150 years old.

  • You're completely close minded.

  • Why not? They stage everything else. Bloody waste of tax payer money. Close NASA down. It's obsolete.

  • Real science -- BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! NASA = fail.

  • Fail!

  • What do you think it hit to not cause a plume? Bedrock or did it hit a steep slope directing the plume? I got up at 3 am to capture it myself but the skies were overcast and wind was around 60 - 70 kph.

  • When the Shoemaker/Levy comet frags were heading for Jupiter there was discussions as to whether or not we would see anything when they impacted into the Jovian atmosphere.

    Mr. Shoemaker was stunned when they should him the raw data pics showing the impact marks on the upper cloud decks of Jupiter.

    With the LCROSS impact it just might have turned the material into talcum power which is very fine and maybe a very low reflectability; just a guess but other wavelengths do show material.

  • If you were expecting a show just go to the movies. What they're doing here is real science and your entertainment is not part of their plans...

    Anyway, the visual spectrum is just a small part of the whole picture. Let's see what we get from the spectroscopy results! The future of space exploration begins here.

  • Good job! You saw as much as NASA for a lot less money. I am glad there was independent confirmation of their fail.

  • wow looks like Nasa was testing just how much they could get away with infront of our faces, and looks like we will believe anything they tell us.

    Anyone else find it suspicious Obama got his scorching headling distracting Nobel prize the same day as this...quick everyone, pssst look over here at Obama not at Nasa! **Baaaah* Bahaaahhh*
