These are posted in the obs section, but I know quite a few dont regularly look there, but these are great close up images of Comet Hartley taken in the wee hours of today by the NASA epoxi spacecraft.

Spectacular!! Thank's Liz and jjj. The textural contrasts on the surface are amazing. It really looks like two objects that have bumped together. :):):)
