This image shows the initial ejecta that resulted when NASA's Deep Impact
probe collided with comet Tempel 1 at 10:52 p.m. Pacific time, July 3
(1:52 a.m. Eastern time, July 4). It was taken by the spacecraft's
high-resolution camera 13 seconds after impact. The image has been
digitally processed to better show the comet's nucleus.
