Hartley 2 Pics
Kinda cool that the Deep Impact mission part II (EPOXI) made it to Hartley 2. Got some good pics. Either one of these guys would be game changers if they impacted Earth.
Tempel 1, is 5 times the size of Hartley 2. Almost 5 miles across. Full gallery here; http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/epoxi/gallery-index.html

We Are All Going To Die

Well hello dere mammy! Dark Comets are coming! (a bad "black face" joke)...

The serious point here is that we can't see these with regular optics. So it's a damn good thing that we have satellites looking across just about all spectrums. Most comets are actually found because they block out known stars light as they pass by. I am not so worried.
