Deep Impact

Last night I got quite a scare when I got a text message on my phone of an A.P. new brief that basically only said that the Deep Impact project was approaching the comet or something to that effect. I live in my own little world which almost exclusively does not involve television or much news of any kind so I had no idea what this meant. To me, I was thinking of the movie and thought - oh shit, we are all going to die.

So I ran to my computer and looked it up. Low and behold it was not a global emergency but a never been done effort by NASA to study the origins of the universe.

Tonight, thanks to NASA TV being streamed online I got to watch the final five minutes leading up to impact (and what you could see of the impact) and it was AMAZING! I had to try not to yell and scream with excitement along with the whole lab on NASA TV.

I can't wait until the fix up the images!
