Luna Crash raises no dust
NASA deliberately crashed a space vehicle into the Moon a few hours ago and did not get what they where expecting. It was a space craft called LCROSS. Apparently, crashing the craft into the moon at 5600 mph should have raised a massive plume of dust which should have remained visible for a long time in the moons airless low gravity environment. In theory, the scientists back at NASA would then have been able to analyse the plume for its content and search for signs of water. It did not work out, there is no visible dust cloud, the early readings don't support a dust cloud either. But they're still checking.
Anyway, I have a wild theory for anyone who's interested. Perhaps the Crater they targeted did contain water, a lot more than they imagined, and that this water has turn ed Crater surface into a gelatinous bog 
They the ejecta from the crash would have been heavier than expected and settled back down rapidly, ego , no dust cloud.
