of vapor and fine debris from the Centaur impact was indeed caught by LCROSS instruments (click to enlarge). The high-contrast image shown above was captured 15 sec after the impact and shows a plume 6-8 km in diameter. Still no word on the analysis of the spectra and the composition of the ejecta.
