Default More about Comet 9P/Tempel 1, Deep Impact and ... those wacky Japanese & ESA astronomers! SUBTITLED "What's an order of magnitiude difference amongst friends & scientists, anyway ? "

Remember this ...

'When NASA’s Deep Impact mission ploughed into comet 9P/Tempel 1 on
July 4th of this year, the giant telescopes on Mauna Kea had a unique
view of the massive cloud of dust, gas and ice expelled during the
collision. See previous Gemini release on observations here.cache ...'


They haven't answered the crucial question. Has the comet been knocked
sufficiently off course? Will it now miss the Earth?
