Watch Deep Impact's Comet Collision

Watch Deep Impact's Comet Collision Via Webcast - Yahoo! News

You don't have to be a scientist to grab a front row seat when the
NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft bears down on a comet between July 3 and 4.


Live webcasts of the event will be provided by NASA and several observatories, large and small, to offer skywatchers a digital view to the cometary collision.

NASA's Deep Impact mission is slated to crash an 820-pound (371-kilogram) Impactor probe into Comet Tempel 1 and record the event via a Flyby mothership, orbital observatories like the Hubble and Spitzer space telescope, and a myriad of ground-based telescopes from around the world. The impact is expected to take place at 1:52 a.m. EDT (0552 GMT) on July 4
