Annotated image ofTempel 1 Composite Map
This composite image was built up from scaling all images to 5
meters/pixel, and aligning images to fixed points. Each image at closer
range, replaced equivalent locations observed at a greater distance. The
impact site has the highest resolution because images were acquired until
about 4 sec from impact or a few meters from the surface.
Arrows a and b point to large, smooth regions. The impact site is
indicated by the third large arrow. Small arrows highlight a scarp that
is bright due to illumination angle, which shows the smooth area to be
elevated above the extremely rough terrain. The scale bar is 1 km and the
two arrows above the nucleus point to the sun and the rotational axis of
the nucleus. Celestial north is near the rotational pole.
