Well - impactor TCM 1 went well - <0.3% error and it's on course for a nominal impact time. PI has suggested that the comet is Banana shaped and we're going to hit the end of it which looks a little triangular

I heard the rep from ESA say that Rosetta was also watching the impact so they could fine-tune their comet encounter 10 years from now.
The untold story: Rosetta actually impacted Tempel 1 last night, too...but it is going to take ESA 10 years to release the images! -------------------- Jonathan Ward
