Deep Impact: The First Look Inside a Comet
After 172 days and 431 million kilometers (268 million miles) of deep space stalking, Deep Impact successfully reached out and touched comet TempelÊ1. The collision between the coffee table-sized impactor and city-sized comet occurred at 1:52 a.m. EDT. Scientists 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 begin 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 is part of the Science Teacher's Colloquium Series.
