I was excited to watch but the results were boring…

Here’s the animation, which was much more interesting.

I hope the animation is pretty much what happened, we just couldn’t see it. I hope the data that they get is good data. I’d prefer that it shows there is water;ut if there isn’t, I hope the results show there isn’t. No data / bad data means failed mission…
The LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) spacecraft was also passing by a little bit later (90 seconds?) so that should have have some additional data.
LATER: A little more info on this at CNN. They said this was the fifth most watched webcast ever.
