NASA Rocket to cause explosion on Moon to study Water

New York: History will be created on Friday, as NASA is planning for a rocket crash on Moon's surface to study more about water. The explosion is expected to help NASA to find more details about the availability of water on Moon. The blast will be created near the moon's South Pole.

At 4.30 AM (US Time) on Friday, a spacecraft called LCROSS will send its 2-ton rocket crashing into the crater near Moon to raise a 6-mile-high cloud of rock and dust.

The cloud of debris will be analysed by instruments on LCROSS and it might shed further light on the availability of water on Moon. The telescope and spacecraft across the US will take images of the flash from the blast.

In my opinion it is not just a start,It is a historical start for finding water and its presence on the surface of Moon and also India's Chandrayan-1 helps in taking pictures of this explosion made by rocket crashed on the surface of moon.
So we can hope these all collectively provide us some extra understanding about Moon and it'll open the door to drive our study for another planet.
