NASA to bomb the Moon on Friday morning, watch from Earth

NASA plans to crash a rocket into the moon early Friday, blasting a huge hole in the lunar surface to search for hidden water.

The explosion, scheduled for 7:30 a.m. Florida time, is expected to visible with from Earth using amateur telescopes, according to NASA.

It’s also expected to be aired live by NASA-TV and on nasa.gov.

According to NASA’s website, the Centaur rocket will make impact at the Moon’s south pole.

Scientists tell Scientific American Magazine that they expect the blast to be so powerful that a huge plume of debris will be ejected.

A spacecraft will fly through the debris plume, sending data back to Earth before crashing into the lunar surface and creating a second debris plume, according to NASA’s website.
