Deep Impact . . .

Recommended Posts

Today the spacecraft originally called "Deep Impact" made its second rendezvous with a comet as it encountered comet Hartly 2. No impacter this time, (it only carried one that it launched at comet Temple 1 five years ago.) So just photos this time. The outgassing is pretty cool!
