During peak times when the internet is at the slowest. Emagine NASA TV will be flooded as well.

Hi David,

Unfortunately we will miss the impact by a couple of hours on the East Coast as well.

Best regards

NASA times it so the Americans can comfortly watch it from their backyard when the moon is high at zenith.:mad2: I guess we are truely 'Down Under'.

[AstroJunk]

Well it is their toy after all :shrug: We should be very grateful that the US gives us so much NASA data for free - a truly generous gesture.

I just wish their scopes were as cheap ;)
