“Indiana University’s Nikodem Poplawski used a modified version of Einstein’s general relativity equation to calculate something that doesn’t make any sense and hurts my brain to think about. (Apparently it has to with “singularties”, which are not times when the computers will take over, but places where the density of matter reaches infinity. And maybe the portal from Donnie Darko? I don’t know.)”

Bomb the Moon
WHAT!? Ha.

That’s what NASA scientists have decided to do…and they’re doing it in just two days. It’s the only way to find out for sure if there’s water frozen in our beloved satellite’s asteroid impact craters. At 7:31 a.m. EDT a centaur rocket will be shot from an earth-orbiting unmanned spacecraft and collide with a crater called Cabeus, sending a plume of ejecta into the air for observation. If H+ and OH- molecules are detected, then the controversial theory that the Moon contains billions of tons of ice might be true. Amateur astronomers will be able to witness the impact firsthand, scientists say. Check out the LCROSS project’s official site to find out where and when to point your telescope.
