Bang!
The Deep Impact probe successfully slammed into the Tempel 1 comet early on July 4th. Nice fireworks!
NASA hopes to analyze the cometary innards for clues about the composition of the early solar system.
See also video from the impactor point-of-view just prior to collision and
images from the flyby probe, Hubble, and an elated Mission Control.
Happy July 4th, America!
