Consdering they're compensating for a really low albedo, "bright" is a pretty relative term.

The final flyby picture before the 'hiding from the lumps' phase is amazing - a waning nucleus with ejecta plumes... ...roll on deconvolution!

The realtime image pages are healthily updated, but dog-slow and unreliable

Try:
http://pirlwww.lpl.arizona.edu/~perry/images/impact15.jpg replace 15 with any number from 2 through 28. screengrabs from NASA TV some initial interpretations: the circular features appear to be positive relief features, maybe low mesas. Combined with the scarps nearby, perhaps (and I know this was suggested for Wild 2) that cometary material is ejected from the scarps, eroding them back. Compared to the simulation animation shown often in the last few days, the impact ejecta is mostly traveling laterally away from the impact site. the animation showed ejecta going straight back. Alex Dessler, who watched the event with me, thought he noticed the formation of several rays during the impact -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!
