These meteor emanate from the constellation Leo hence they are named as Lenoid.
Astronomers believe that we can observe upto hundreds of meteors.
On 17 th November, 2009 we can observe meteor shower between 1:30 am EST and sunrise.
If you are not outside on 17 th November night then you will surely miss it.

The team has also found some components such as Sodium and Carbondioxide which they are analysing.
The impact created by the LCROSS Centaur upper stage rocket created a two-part plume of material from the bottom of the crater. The first part was a high angle plume about 10-12 meters across of vapor and fine dust and the second a lower angle ejecta curtain of heavier material. This material has not seen sunlight in billions of years.
Lunar scientists are trying to find out that how the water has come, whether by comets , meteorites or by some process in moon or the moon surface is creating water.

In my previous post Happy Halloween from Cassini Spacecraft Team i mentioned about Cassini spacecraft going to the Moon of Saturn, Enceladus on 2th November, 2009.
Cassini has captured some amazing images of the plumes shooting from Enceladus , they are simply the raw images.
The objective of Cassini is to analyse the particles in the plume with the instruments that can detect the mass , size, charge, speed and composition.
These are the first images of the plume and are amazing.
