On the site there's a three-orbit window they're planning on putting it
down in. The three orbital passes would occur at: 00:36, 05:41, 10:46
(UT). The site doesn't say where a good place to see it will be, but as
far as I can tell (estimating where the moon is going to be), most lines
of site from the earth will be at about a 45 degree angle looking down
to the blast, so if debris rises vertically we should see it. Due to the
moon phase, the crash site will be in the dark as well. This should make
it easier to see molten rock that they expect.
I'm in Boston at the moment, I'll give the whether a 50% chance here. I
don't have a video camera but I'll take pics if I can get to it fast
enough (I have no idea how fast this is going to happen)
