You Are NOT seeing things....OK, for those of you planning a good time on Saturday night (like me), and you happen to be looking up at the Moon at about 1030-ish that evening, and you see a bright flash of light on the dark side of the Moon...you are drunk, it is NOT the final performance of Pink Floyd..but rather the planned impact of SMART - 1. The following link is to the European Space Agency site, discussing this lunar fender-bender
..http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/SMART-1/index.html
The map on the left shows where the impact site is, and this link gives you the NASA site with another maphttp://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/30aug_smart1.htm
So...when drinking with gullible friends, at about the appointed hour, claim supreme powers and demostrate them by making a small explosion occur on the Moon.

And thank you for explaining your quote... ;-))
now hold on just a minute there, lil fella. if it hits on the dark side of the moon, then how can they show a detailed map? the dark side isn't mapped, is it?
oh yeah, talk to you today at the bbq. may have a chance to look through a radio telescope.
