Double Lasers Shoot the Moon

Some guys have all the luck. September 18 marked the first ever International Observe the Moon Night (which is referred to as InOMN) which is set to become an annual event. Visitors at the NASA Goddard Visitor Center in Maryland were in for a treat.

They were able to watch as not one but two green lines pierced the sky above the Space Center. These lasers were aimed at the moon not to repel an alien invasion or to detect a battle fleet but the aim of the procedure was detection. The lasers were tracking our own spacecraft.
