Foto Friday: Full Moon over Hernando Beach, Florida - Before the Crash!

This morning, NASA had a space probe crash into the moon. The probe was launched in June and the purpose for this exercise is to determine whether there is water on the moon by examining the resulting dust cloud from the crash.

These photos of the "undamaged" full moon were taken at the beginning of October 2009 in Hernando Beach, Florida.

Enjoy!

Nice pictures! But now I want to go back to sleep! aww man!

One question... If we have been to the moon....Wouldn't we know if there is water there? Oops better not open up that can huh?

Silvia - I watched it on TV this morning, can't wait for the pic from NASA

Paul, I'm afraid I can't answer that question! Better ask NASA! :-)

Petra, we had people outside with telescopes this morning, not sure if they actually could see anything.

Silvia, it will be interesting to see what they find. Nice Photos!

Hi Silvia,

Nice photos! I agree with Michael - it will be interesting to know what they find. Have a great weekend!

Chris

Silvia - Interesting concept ... how do you tell if there is water by looking at the dust ... I think of dust clouds being the result of a lack of water not the presence of water

Hey, Silvia. You can't go wrong with photos of the moon. Thanks for sharing, Jim

Silvia, Nice pictures of the moon - I don't really like the idea of NASA crashing into it - but then again I'm not a scientist.

Silvia

I watched the crush down, how I'm waiting to hear if there water on the moon.

Good luck and success.

Lou Ludwig

Silvia, I am fascinated to hear what they find...these are neat photos -- I love ones of the moon!

Great photos. It will be interesting to hear if there is water on the moon or not!!

I love a full moon, so ominous and so beautiful..great photo

Silvia, great photos at the undamaged moon!

Silvia, I read about this and heard about this on the news. It's always so interesting to hear what NASA is doing. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Michael, Chris, Lou, Yvette and Dennis, and Marney, we'll probably have to wait a while before we hear anything about the results.

Kathy, I imagine it's a complicated process!

Jim and Maria, and Konnie, glad you enjoy them.

Mary, it's sound violent doesn't it? I'm just glad the crash wasn't big enough to bump the moon out of it's orbit!

Tony and Darcy! Yep, you got it!

Sandy, especially living on the Space Coast like you do, you are much closer to the source!

Love it!

Hi Silvia:

Great photos!

I'm like a few others here, don't really get why we needed to crash into the moon, no less spend all that money in doing so...

OCT

Very nice! The moon is one of my favorite photo subjects.......whenever I see a big full moon I have to take a pic!

The undamaged full moon, huh. Do you have any pictures of the damaged moon? LOL

Cloudy moon

Debbie, I'm glad.

Toula, it sounds violent doesn't it?

Ann, there's just something about a full moon that's hard to resist!

Hi Jim, thank you for the moon in the clouds! Did you find these clouds in the southern Californian skies?

Here is one for you! This picture was taken five days after the NASA probe crashed into the moon and as you can clearly see, the moon is considerably smaller and practically only half of what it used to be! :-)

Those are beautiful shots of the moon. I wonder if it will all look the same to us, after it's been 'bombed'. Why can't we just leave the moon alone? If there was water on the moon, what would they do? Send some people over to live there?

NOV

I came back to see if you had some pictures of the damaged moon, and you sure did. That was some damage!

NOV

Sylvie, I think people have been fascinated by the moon and the stars for ages, we just now have the technology to mess with it!

Jim, thanks for stopping in again. I think nature has a way to heal so keep looking to the sky at night and check on the old moon every once in while... :-)
