Però se non ricordo male quella foto riporta un fenomeno naturale della cometa, non l'impatto...

si hai ragione Hubble photos of comet Tempel 1 In a dress rehearsal for the rendezvous between NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft and comet 9P/Tempel 1, the Hubble Space Telescope captured dramatic images of a new jet of dust streaming from the icy comet. The images are a reminder that Tempel 1's icy nucleus, roughly half the size of Manhattan, is dynamic and volatile. Astronomers hope the eruption of dust seen in these observations is a preview of the fireworks that may come July 4, when a probe from the Deep Impact spacecraft will slam into the comet, possibly blasting off material and giving rise to a similar dust plume. The two images, taken seven hours apart on June 14, show Tempel 1 and its new jet. The image at left, taken at 2:17 a.m. (EDT), is a view of the comet before the outburst. The bright dot is light reflecting from the comet’s nucleus, which appears star-like in these images because it is too small even for Hubble to resolve. The nucleus, a potato-shaped object, is 8.7 miles (14 kilometers) wide and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) long. Hubble's viewing the nucleus is as difficult as someone trying to spot a potato in Salt Lake City from New York City. The photo at right, snapped at 9:15 a.m. (EDT), reveals the jet [the bright fan-shaped area]. The jet extends about 1,400 miles (2,200 kilometers), which is roughly half the distance across the U.S. It is pointing in the direction of the Sun. |

Deep Impact is a smashing success
BY WILLIAM HARWOOD STORY WRITTEN FOR CBS NEWS "SPACE PLACE" & USED WITH PERMISSION Posted: July 4, 2005; Updated: 5:45 a.m. EDT PASADENA, Calif. (CBS) - A scientific smart bomb crashed into Comet Tempel 1 early today, blasting a sparkling shower of icy debris into space in a 23,000-mph Fourth of July spectacular 83 million miles from Earth. This image shows the initial ejecta that resulted when NASA's Deep Impact probe collided with comet Tempel 1 at 1:52 a.m. EDT. The picture was taken by the mothership's medium-resolution camera 16 seconds after impact. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UMD "Jeez, and we thought it was going to be subtle!" marveled comet expert Donald Yeomans as images of the impact were received at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "We've had a far bigger explosion than we anticipated. ... I can't imagine how this could go any better." Said Rick Grammier, the Deep Impact project manager: "It came together quite well, just phenomenal. It went very much like clockwork. We didn't exercise a single contingency plan." As it closed in on Tempel 1 at 11 times the speed of a rifle bullet, the impactor beamed back a stream of ever more detailed pictures, showing circular craters, plain-like areas, a long, snaking ridge and jumbled-looking terrain similar to regions on the moon. "It's illuminating some extremely interesting surface features," Yeomans said, describing the pictures as they as they came in. "That's going to keep the scientists going for a long time. The navigation was perfect, it couldn't have been any better. The impact was bigger than I expected, bigger than most of us expected. So this is going to tell us a great deal about how this comet is put together." The 820-pound impactor spacecraft, programmed to place itself directly in the comet's path, collided with Tempel 1 at 1:52 a.m. EDT (10:52 p.m. PDT Sunday), releasing the energy equivalent of 4.5 tons of TNT as it vaporized in a sudden, spectacular flash. Looking on 5,250 miles away, the Deep Impact mothership that ferried the impactor to Tempel 1 trained two telescopes and an infrared spectrometer on the impact site, studying the subsurface ices blown into space by the collision. The crater that almost certainly resulted from the impact was not immediately visible in an obscuring cloud of debris that spread outward into deep space like some ghostly fog. "Obviously, it was a very big impact," principal investigator Michael A'Hearn said at a post-impact news conference. "Presumably, we have a large crater in one of those images that hasn't played back yet. "Interpreting the ejecta cone ... is going to take a bit of time. There's a lot of structure in it that's of interest to understanding the nature of the comet. We'll be working that over the next half day and weeks and months and years. I just look forward to a wealth of data that will take me to retirement." While he provided no details, A'Hearn said flyby craft's infrared spectrometer captured clear chemical signatures of various icy compounds including some that were clearly unexpected. During the final stages of the encounter flight controllers frequently gasped and broke out in repeated cheers as more detailed images rolled in from space. "I'm at a loss to explain just how on Earth our little washing machine-sized impactor caused such a disturbance some 83 million miles away," said the normally unflappable Yeomans.. "This is going to take some work to explain, but it's sure taken me by surprise. And I suspect some of my colleagues up in the science area are equally surprised." The flyby spacecraft had just 13 minutes to collect and transmit its highest-priority data before re-orienting itself, bringing protective dust shields to bear as it fell behind the comet, passing just 300 miles below the Washington, DC-size nucleus at closest approach. About 27 minutes later, the flyby craft turned back toward the receding comet for additional observations, surviving its close flyby of Tempel 1 in near-perfect health. By then, A'Hearn said, the expanding ejecta cone was larger than the nucleus of the comet and still evolving. Back on Earth, meanwhile, astronomers in virtually every major observatory in the world with a view of the collision aimed their telescopes at Tempel 1 to monitor the flash of the impactor's destruction. The Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Infrared Telescope and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory also monitored the collision from Earth orbit. Hubble measured a two-magnitude increase in light output, corresponding to about a six-fold jump in brightness. Before-and-after images from Hubble showed a distinct brightening with a fair amount of structure in the debris cloud. Tempel 1 was just above the southwestern horizion for observers in the extreme western United States, but it was not immediately known how many amateurs might have been able to detect the sudden brightening that signaled the impactor's crash. But it was the flyby spacecraft that had the best seat in the house, making its own observations while relaying final close-up images from the impactor taken just a few minutes before its kamikaze-like destruction. In its final few shots, Yeomans estimated the impactor's camera was able to detect features as small as about eight inches across. The final picture was snapped just 3.7 seconds before impact. For comparison, the European Space Agency's Giotto probe was unable to detect features on Halley's Comet in 1986 smaller than about the length of a football field. To give the small impactor enough mass to excavate a significant crater, it was loaded with enough copper to make 45,000 pennies. Copper was chosen for the bulk of the impactor's mass because it is not present in comets, allowing astronomers to ignore the remains of the spacecraft in spectroscopic studies of the resulting debris cloud. While it will take time to fully analyze the downlinked data, astronomers almost certainly will learn more than enough to re-write their textbooks about cometary structure and evolution. On a more fundamental level, the $333 million Deep Impact mission will shed light on the composition of the cloud of gas and dust that coalesced to form the solar system 4.6 billion years ago. And while it was not a primary goal of the mission, the deep space fireworks display will give scientists and engineers valuable insights into what might be needed someday to divert or destroy a comet on a collision course with Earth. "It's considerably brighter, there's considerably more material coming off than I thought," Yeomans said, watching the initial impact images come in. "The predictions on the science team were all over the map. Someone won a fairly large-size pool here with a long-shot prediction of a rather extraordinary impact. "We've got an object the size of a washing machine going in here creating a crater and ejecta that's just enormous. At least that's the way it looks like now. ... One of our science team members actually predicted the impact would release sub-surface pressure and we'd have a far bigger explosion than they anticipated. That may be what happened, I don't know." Deep Impact was launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., Jan. 12. The impactor was released from the flyby spacecraft early Sunday, roughly 24 hours before the collision, at a point in space about 500,000 miles in front of Tempel 1. As the much-faster comet overtook the two spacecraft, a steady stream of images was transmitted to Earth, revealing more and more surface detail as the distance between the hunters and their quarry closed. The final few pictures were quickly assembled into a sort of stop-action movie, showing the nucleus grow from a small, unfocused blur of light to a sharply defined, cratered body with a wealth of surface detail. Tempel 1 originated in the Kuiper Belt, a broad flattened disk of icy debris extending from the orbit of Neptune to well beyond Pluto. Disturbed by gravitational interactions, primarily involving Jupiter and Saturn, a Kuiper Belt comet can fall into the inner solar system and become captured in a so-called short-period orbit. In the early solar system, gravitational encounters also threw large numbers of comets into a vast, spherical shell known as the Oort Cloud. Comets that eventually fall back into the inner solar system from the Oort Cloud typically have orbits measured in millions of years. "Comets formed in the outer part of the solar system and preserve clues to its formation," said A'Hearn. "They formed from Jupiter on out to beyond Neptune four-and-a-half billion years ago, together with all the planets. The inner ones got ejected to the Oort Cloud, which extends halfway to the next star, whereas the ones that formed in the Kuiper Belt are probably still in the Kuiper Belt. "We are examining comets that come in from the Kuiper Belt with Deep Impact. The problem in understanding the comets is, each time the comet goes close to the sun, the surface layer gets heated and this changes the surface layers. So it's only the interior that preserves the clues to the formation of the solar system." One reason for the current interest in comets is the believe they may have played a major role in the development of Earth's biosphere. "In terms of their relationship with life, they may well have brought the water and carbon-based molecules to the early Earth that allowed life to form," Yeomans said in an interview for the author's book "Space Odyssey: Voyaging Through the Cosmos." "Subsequent collisions may have punctuated the evolution, wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago and so allowed only the mammals to move forward. "So in a sense, we may owe our position atop the world's food chain to the fact that the dinosaurs checked out as a result of an impact. So I think there's an increased realization that comets and asteroids are not just the flotsam and jetsam of the solar system. They really are, next to the sun itself, probably the most important objects in terms of power over life."
