Liz & Guys;

Here ya go …

NASA Deep Impact spacecraft visits another comet (Update)

It looks like a giant peanut !! …

or a dumbbell !!

The two ends look as though they're made from a different material than the centre band ..?.. I also would have thought that the jets would be coming from the end facing the Sun, but they do say it's "hyperative and feisty" so I guess its rotating fairly fast. I read somewhere the gas is mostly cyanide (??).

I hope you guys get good visibility for your observations.
Well spotted if you get it .. its so far away !!

Cheers and Regards
