Description
On 4 July 2005, many observatories around the world and in space
observed the collision of Deep Impact with comet 9P/Tempel 1 or its
aftermath. This was an unprecedented coordinated observational campaign.
These data show that (i) there was new material after impact that was
compositionally different from that seen before impact; (ii) the ratio
of dust mass to gas mass in the ejecta was much larger than before
impact; (iii) the new activity did not last more than a few days, and by
9 July the comet's behavior was indistinguishable from its pre-impact
behavior; and (iv) there were interesting transient phenomena that may
be correlated with cratering physics.
