Corto pego su aviso:
 << Como muchos ya sabreis, el pasado 6 de outubro la sonda LADEE (Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer) entró en órbita entorno a la Luna. Trata de explorar el contido y la dinámica de la tenue atmosfera y de la capa de polvo en suspensión que tiene  nuestro satélite. Se cree que la mayor parte de este material está relacionado con impactos de meteoroides en la superficie lunar, y por eso la NASA junto con la ALPO están lanzando una campaña para observar posibles impactos durante el tiempo de la misión.

     El día 5 de deciembre van a hacer un workshop online para iniciar en este tema a las personas interesadas. Os copio un fragmento de un email de B. Day sobre el tema:

"Because meteoroid impacts are thought to be among the major sources for the lunar exosphere and lofted dust, the LADEE mission is working with NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office and the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers to put together a lunar meteoroid impact observation campaign supporting the science of the mission. During the LADEE Mission, NASA would like to work with a network of observers watching for and recording lunar meteoroid impacts in order to correlate these events with any changes LADEE’s instruments might detect in the structure and composition of the lunar atmosphere and the nature of any lofted dust. This could help us gain a better understanding of the role of meteoroid impacts as a source for the lunar atmosphere and lofted dust. We would like to have a broad geographic distribution of observers around the world to maximize coverage of impact events. Telescopes with apertures as small as eight inches can be ideal for this type of work.
To facilitate these studies, NASA’ Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (formerly the NASA Lunar Science Institute) is hosting an online, web-based, virtual workshop. This half-day workshop will allow experts in lunar meteoroid impact observation to share information on technology and techniques, and interact with mission science team members to better integrate mission science and the observation campaign. It will also allow an audience of observers with little or no experience in impact observations to learn from experienced observers and gain an understanding of the equipment and techniques needed to participate in this exciting research. Scheduled presenters include Rick Elphic (LADEE Project Scientist), Brian Cudnik (Coordinator of the ALPO Lunar Meteoritic Impact Search, Author of “Lunar Meteoroid Impacts and How to Observe Them), Rob Suggs (NASA Meteoroid Environment Office), George Varros (pioneering observer of lunar meteoroid impacts and author of “Nudger” lunar auto-guider software), and Peter Gural (author of LunarScan impact detection software). "

En el PDF adjunto teneis el correo íntegro con la url para poder seguir ese taller. Creo que puede ser una buena oportunidad para colaborar en una interesante misión científica.

     Apertas!
