Hubble Captures Deep Impact's Collision with Comet

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured the dramatic effects of the collision
early July 4 between an 820-pound projectile released by the Deep Impact
spacecraft and comet 9P/Tempel 1. This sequence of images shows the comet
before and after the impact. The visible-light images were taken by the
Advanced Camera for Surveys' High Resolution Camera.
