LCROSS may be eternally at Luna Coords 84\u00b0 43&#8217;S, 49\u00b0 37&#8217;W, LCROSS was recently spotted at Terran Coords 50\u00b0 20&#8217;S, 72\u00b0 20&#8217;W. \u00a0Today we visited the local museum devoted to the study of ice and glaciers: Glaciarium. <a title=\"http:\/\/www.glaciarium.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.glaciarium.com\/\">http:\/\/www.glaciarium.com<\/a>\/<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph Body\">\n<p class=\"paragraph Body\">Upon display look what we found! Although not named specifically, the artwork was quite familiar. Actually from all the other satellite imagery of ice\/glaciers, etc. the museum would credit NASA Johnson Space Center or JPL, almost at random. Anyway, the curator was kind to allow me to take some snap shots!<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph Body\">\n<p class=\"paragraph Body\">\u00a0It was a fun surprise.
