Frying Pan How to Watch NASA's Probe Smack the Moon Friday

6 October Space.com article:
Quote:
Early this coming Friday morning (Oct. 9), NASA's Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) will end its mission with a bang — literally.
{ snip }
The impact is scheduled to occur this Friday, Oct. 9 at 11:30 UT. That's 7:30 a.m. EDT; 4:30 a.m. PDT.
{ snip }
NASA wants the amateur astronomer community to join in a "citizen scientist" program. Jennifer Heldmann heads the LCROSS observing campaign. "We would like to have as many eyes and instruments watching the impact as possible because this is the way we'll get the most data and the most information as possible."
Click here to go to NASA's page to help amateur astronomers watch the event. NASA TV will also have live coverage.

We're spending millions of dollars to smack the moon when there's so much right here on Earth to smack. We're Earthlings, let's smack Earth things!
