abstract = "A two-ton Atlas Centaur rocket body, part of the Lunar
Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS),
struck the floor of Cabeus crater, near the south pole
of the Moon, at 11:31 UT on October 9, 2009. The
purpose of the crash was to create a plume of debris
that could be examined for the presence of water and
other chemicals in the lunar regolith. The effects of
the impact were captured by sensors on board a
shepherding satellite following four minutes behind the
Centaur.",
