"It's a bullet trying to hit a second bullet with the third bullet," Rick Grammier, Deep Impact project manager at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said in June.
And Deep Impact filmed the brilliant explosion and sent the pictures home.
Amazing! Spectacular! Beautiful!

Hopefully there wasn't any damage to the "Take the Cult Home" spaceship following this comet...
