"Will I be able to see the crash?" Probably not, but that doesn't mean friends in the Americas shouldn't try (daylight for those in Europe): look to the eastern limb of the Einstein crater. The @eso.org VLT will observe it & NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is taking before and after images! 🔭🧪🛰️
Astronomer Royal for Scotland | Catherine HeymansScientists do love turning accidents into discovery! Wed 5th Aug 06:34UTC: 4 tonnes of Space-X debris will crash into the moon 😮 This sim shows what will happen, if we understand the moon as well as we think we do. If we see something different, we learn something new! 👏 🧪🔭🛰️ 🎥 William Jo/UT Austin
