The movie is displayed in the frame of reference of the LAMP instrument, with its field of view shown by the vertical red line at [0,0]. The LCROSS impact site moves to the left as time goes on in this reference frame. It shows how the timing of the signal LAMP detects is a combination of the expansion of the cloud and the motion of LRO past the impact site. It also shows how the signal observed by LAMP is from only a small portion of the entire cloud, emphasizing the need to use modeling to relate the observations to the overall release. || ", "hits": 70 }, { "id": 10686, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/10686/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2010-10-21T13:55:00-04:00", "title": "LRO Observes the LCROSS Impact", "description": "NASA scientists have revealed the lunar soil inside shadowy craters is rich in useful materials, that the moon is chemically active, and that it also has a water cycle.

The purpose of the crash was to create a plume of debris that could be examined for the presence of water and other chemicals in the lunar regolith. The effects of the impact were captured by sensors onboard a shepherding satellite travelling four minutes behind the Centaur. They were also watched by Earth-based observatories and several Earth-orbiting satellites, including the Hubble Space Telescope.The images here were created in the weeks prior to the impact. They visualize the viewing angle, terrain, and shadows around the target crater at the time of the impact. Astronomers in New Mexico, Arizona, California, and Hawaii used them as visual reference while guiding their telescopes. LCROSS project scientists also used these and similar images to evaluate a number of potential impact locations.Using the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's DE421 ephemeris and early terrain data from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's laser altimeter, the artist was able to accurately depict the sunlight direction, shadows, moon orientation, terrain, and field of view for several representative observing locations on the Earth. || ", "hits": 134 } ] }
