(meteorobs) Fw: The Exploding Lunar Eclipse

[Bruce McCurdy]

    Interesting story on NASA Science News. I assume "Helions" are the opposite of "Anthelions", and would be (almost?) impossible to observe as meteors within our own atmosphere.

On Tuesday morning, Aug. 28th, a team of astronomers and engineers at the Marshall Space Flight Center will attempt something never done before--to observe meteoroids hitting the Moon and exploding during a lunar eclipse. This will allow them to explore an elusive and mysterious population of "Helion" meteoroids coming from the direction of the sun.
