*****************************
The Lunar Prospector completed its mission at the end of July. Its
final task was to crash into the surface of the Moon. Scientists
hoped the impact would reveal more about possible water ice on the
Moon. The unique experiment did not detect any signs of ice,
leaving open the question of whether it exists or not. Animation
shows the Lunar Prospector over the Moon, descent to the surface,
and impact.
This 3D image shows the precipitation rates and the height of the
rain column in Hurricane Irene as it makes its way SW of Havana,
towards Western Cuba and Florida. Red color indicates rain rates
in excess of 2 inches per hour. This TRMM animation sequence of
Hurricane Irene was captured between 6:00-7:00 AM EDT on Oct. 14,
1999. TRMM is a joint U.S.-Japanese mission. The images were
enhanced and rendered at the Scientific and Visualization Studio
(SVS) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD.
