Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) Observational Campaign - In 2009, the booster that delivers the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) to the moon, will be smashed into a permanently shadowed crater near the lunar south pole in an attempt to excavate signs of water ice and other stuff. An observational campaign will be in place to solicit observations of the effects of the impact which should be visible with the right equipment. Here's a chance to use your telescope for science.
