BBC NEWS Science/Nature Nasa team sees explosion on MoonThis is a news story that caught my eye today, The story is now a couple of days old but I have only just found it. What amases me is that no one appears to be looking at the moon these days, is that because been there done that or is it that nothing ever happens on the Moon lets go at look somewhere else? Me? I think that its the nothing ever happens on the Moon one. I wounder if now that this story has broken people will see that a rock from space can happen anytime and that it can be any size. Makes me think what would the news have been like if the rock that hit the Moon had been, say 1000 times bigger. I bet that that would have got lots of people very intrested in whats going on on the Moon. I know that looking at the Moon would cost money but is that not true of all science projects, don't some projects get funded with the chance of a 100 percent outcome as well not likely, So maybe just looking at the Moon could be one of those projects, maybe Moon watching will give us a clue as to just how often you can expect to get hit by a chunk of rock moving at very high speed without any notice that its about to happen. No dout some clever person will say that the Earth is overdue a vist from a large chunk of rock, if that's so then I just do not want to know, thank you very much.
