Humans’ eyes fascinated upward Friday morning as NASA blasts a rocket into a moon crater to look for water or ice. Before dawn on Friday, while the West Coast residents were sleeping, a rocket is planned to hit a thirteen foot deep hole in a crater at the South Pole of the moon that hasn’t examined sunlight in billions of years.

The basic purpose was to find out any clue about the ice on the surface of the moon. NASA’s Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, which established for the moon in June, made a late-course modification Tuesday to better point itself to navigate the rocket into the 2-mile-deep hole Cabeus on Friday at 4:30 a.m. PDT on Friday.

Four minutes later, if all happens according to plan, the rocket fires through the cloud of fragments that rise above the lunar surface and remains there temporarily. Satellite’s nine device gathered dust particles and fragments for proof of water, after it permits through the cloud.

Here on the earth, space scientists from Colorado to Silicon Valley have witness this historic event and tried to collect as much data as they could from this celestial display of explosion and debris that last a little over a minute.

The rocket was looking excessive but the hole is also great but the scientists were looking for the experiments and its consequences. Daniel Andrews, the chief of the LCROSS mission ($79-million) said according to the last information their target was the wettest surface of the moon.
