Deep Impact: The First Look Inside a Comet
It's your chance to watch what happens when NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft slams its 820-pound copper probe into comet Tempel 1 at 23,000 mph. The impact is expected at 10:52 p.m. MST Sunday, July 3. The mothership will fly next to the comet to document the fireworks. ęThe Deep Impact mission goal is to blast a crater for a first-ever look inside a comet, which is made of the same stuff that made up our solar system billions of years ago, before the planets formed. ęScientists hope to learn a lot from the small comet, which is only about 8.7 miles long and 2.5 miles wide. Professor H. Jay Melosh will talk on "First Results from the Deep Impact Mission" in Tucson on Saturday, July 9. His talk will be at 6:15 p.m. in the Kuiper Space Sciences Building, 1629 E. University Blvd., Tucson. This free lecture, is sponsored by UA's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory Public Outreach Program and part of the Science Teacher's Colloquium Series.
