figgy Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Video: Poke a comet Source: MSNBC : Deep Impact releases probe for comet collision Where to look for collision A NASA space probe was bearing down on its comet target Sunday in a mission scientists hope will end with a cataclysmic crash — and new insights into the origins of the solar system. The 820-pound copper probe was on course to intercept the comet Tempel 1 to smash a hole in it so scientists can get their first peek at the heart of one of these icy celestial bodies. Comets are the leftover building blocks of the solar system, which formed when a giant cloud of gas and dust collapsed to create the sun and planets. Because comets were born in the system’s outer fringes, their cores still possess some of the primordial ingredients and studying them could yield clues to how the solar system formed 4.5 billion years ago.

+BudMan MVC Posted July 3, 2005 MVC Share Posted July 3, 2005 maybe its just me.. but your links seem to go to blank pages..? Anyway - here is where you would want to go for all your deep impact coverage; http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/deepimpa...tml?skipIntro=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_witko Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 God lives in the centre of the universe... apparently its towards Orion or something. Gods sheer power is what holds the universe together. Heaven is a big planet where god is and the angels live there. In the future, space travel will allow us to travel there. Only 144,000 people will only be allowed to go there though. Keep up the research NASA... I want to go to Heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the planet Blisstonia? :p No offense but i've never heard of people (or religion) that actually thought this way. Expected time of impact July 4, 1:52 a.m. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
