Carl Schmidt is an astronomer affiliated with Boston University’s Center for Space Physics. He was recently in the news for his analysis of the lunar impact caused by a SpaceX rocket, where he discussed the chemical composition of the impact plume observed by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. His insights into the sodium and lithium gases found in the plume contribute to our understanding of both the lunar surface and the implications of space debris impacts.
