Sterling, list,
Anyone got anything to report? Unbelievably, the
Moon slipped into the ONLY cloud in the sky here just
ONE minute or so before impact! I surely thought I was
going to have a chance to witness the impact (if it
was visible thru a small scope) when that cloud just
reached up and
Hi, Rob, List
The Moon being down at my location (and it being
too cloudy when it was up), I'm guessing (disclaimer).
I had a terminator map drawn up for the time of the
impact (four hours too early), but the lunar terminator
just strolls along, taking 14 days to cross the Moon, so
I doubt
Hi, All,
SMART-1 smashed at 1:42 am EDT (abrupt loss of signal).

They say: A flash from the impact was recorded by the
Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope atop Mauna Kea, but no
details were available at the time this update was
That was awesome.
Good work.

Hello Moon watchers...
Reporting back from NE Mexico... where the sky really cooperated for a
change ! The view of the Moon was a comfortable 20 degrees above the
horizon at time zero with windless superb seeing and a sharp 25X100 giant

Hi Martin, List , -
I must confess that I expect Martin's closing formulae such as Buckleboo,
Miau, Miö (the last 2 probably (?) belonging to the same subgroup) as
well as the - seemingly?! - more common Salü will become subject of a
whole series of academical studies sooner or later. One

Hello Buckleboo,
I think I know how you feel to acquire something you thought would be
highly improbable. It's a great feeling for sure, and now you can sign
off as Buckleboo with the bona fide credentials. I'm now thinking of
signing off as Kaidun.
Kaidun!

Hi, All,
The space.com story says this (below) is an infrared image. There
apparently is no visual light image. Interestingly, the 0.001 second
flash is square, just like the spacecraft itself (SMART-1 is a cube
just under one meter in dimension). The flash covers a square

I didn't know that there was a meteorite that had been recovered from the bottom
of the ocean-- are there any others?

Any other explanations of a square impact flash?

Ouch, Doug!
You got me again. It's 346.3 meters per pixel,
not 0.3463 meters. Multiply everything by 1000.
Note to self: no more cyphering in the head

Hi,
Having too much fun. The big Texas meteorite does exist.
It's RED RIVER; most of it is at Yale (yel'skeyeo university).
A mass of about 1635lb (741.5kg) and two smaller ones
were found by Pawnee Indians about 1808, north by northwest
of Natchitoches on the Red River in lat. 32°7'N, and
