Artwork of Deep Impact impactor hitting comet
Deep Impact impactor. Image 2 of 3. Illustration of the Deep Impact impactor about to hit the surface of the nucleus of comet Tempel 1. The 500 kilogram impactor, travelling at 10 kilometres per second, will blast a large crater in the comet and eject material into space. Sensors on a related space probe (not seen) will monitor the explosion. The material inside the comet will be unchanged since the beginning of the solar system 5 billion years ago. This will provide information about the solar systems history. This NASA mission is due for launch in January 2004. For a sequence showing the impact, see images R250/139-141

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork of the Deep Impact impactor colliding with comet Tempel 1, capturing a pivotal moment in space exploration. The illustration depicts the imminent impact of the 500-kilogram impactor hurtling towards the surface of the comet's nucleus at an astonishing speed of 10 kilometers per second. Upon contact, this forceful collision will create a substantial crater on Tempel 1 and propel ejected material into space. Unseen in this image is a related space probe equipped with sensors that will closely monitor and record the explosion caused by the impact. This groundbreaking NASA mission, set to launch in January 2004, aims to unravel valuable information about our solar system's history. By studying unchanged materials within Tempel 1 since its formation approximately five billion years ago, scientists hope to gain crucial insights into how our solar system came into existence. The significance of this mission lies not only in its research potential but also in its ability to expand our understanding of deep space phenomena. As we delve deeper into uncharted territories like comets and their nuclei, we uncover hidden secrets that shed light on our cosmic origins. This awe-inspiring image serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge through scientific exploration beyond Earth's boundaries.
