They had some pretty spectacular live photos on TV tonight as Olelo gave us a feed from the NASA JPL observatory of the Deep Impact space probe mission that they sent to a nearby comet 80 million miles away. If you missed it, check out the JPL website for pictures. The program has been on Channel 53 since about 5:30 this afternoon and the probe smashed into the comet around 7:45 tonight. They got some great pictures of the impact taken from the probe's mothership that flew by as the probe went on its crash course.
All I can say is that this is quite spectacular.
