Tomorrow morning you’ll have a rare opportunity to experience a live moon crash. At 7:31 a.m. EDT, NASA’s LCROSS satellite will send a rocket hurtling toward the moon at a whopping 1.55 miles per second, and a camera mounted on the spacecraft will send live footage back to Earth. Four minutes later, the entire satellite will smack into the moon, generating a giant plume of debris that should be visible from our planet with an amateur telescope. (source: wired.com)
