LCROSS and asteroid (3731) Hancock rendez-vous (animated GIF)


After some study of the LCROSS position I found a date where a rendez-vous with an asteroid would happen (I like rendez-vous a lot). And I captured the moment for the posterity!

That's amazing work. Nice observations. It takes time and dedication (and one heck of a setup) to pull it off. Nicely done.

(obrigado) . I'm glad you like it. The best part was the study itself to find this rendez-vous.
