Re: NASA wants YOU (Lunar meteor strike study)

NASA WANTS YOU: NASA astronomers have spent the last year watching meteoroids hit the Moon and explode. Now they're about to release software that would allow amateur astronomers do the same thing. The goal is to create a worldwide network of "lunar meteor" observers.

I'd love to participate in this.  But can't, don't have the means.

Re: NASA wants YOU (Lunar meteor strike study)

So you need your own footage of the meteor strikes? People are filming the moon right now on their spare time?

I find that odd.
