      Who's gearing up for one of the greatest shows in history?
      On July 4th,the special comet probe Deep Impact will release an impactor which will slam into Comet Tempel 1 creating a huge explosion which will be visible from earth.
      I won't be getting to see the impact,but I'll be able to see the dust cloud when it's night here.
      Whoever's in the US,get out your telescopes or binoculars or just go outside on July 4th to catch this spectacle.

              Idiots scheduling it for 4th July. Nobody in the US will see anything for the fireworks exhibits.

                That is to say, if you live near a place that does fireworks :rolleyes:

                  sounds really neat! Any idea when it will happen and what areas will be able to see it?

                    Wow, any links to NASA or something? I wanna see it 😄 though I can't 😞

                    Well Pep, at least you can see a teeny bit of the explosion when we can't even do so here on the otherside of the world.

                        Yes,you can use a telescope for better viewing.
                        You should be able to see it with the naked eye as a small twinkle which expands into a splotch.
                        People in Asia will only see the splotch,not the initial impact.

                          UPDATE.
                          The explosion should be able to be viewed starting at 6.00 pm US time.
                          The resulting cloud will be visible for a few days before dissapearing.
                          I'll be setting up my MEADE telescope on my roof to catch it.

                              Final Update.
                              The impactor has impacted!
                              Whoever is in the US,right now,go outside and see.
                              I was watching the webcast all the way up to the impact.
                              It was awesome…..

                                      I added it about 1/2 an hour after impact….
                                      In the photo's taken,it shows the nucleus of the comet with a huge explosion plume poring out of it.
                                      It's now my new wallpaper.

                                              You CAN see it…..not the impact,but the explosion debris....I don't know about you,but I saw it through my telescope...

                                              Here are the pics....

                                              This is the moment of impact taken by the Flyby spacecraft.

                                              Another one as it swung around the other side of the comet.

                                              One of a sequence of pics taken by the impactor before slamming into the comet.
