Deep Impact on Comet Tempel 1 from Hubble
On July 4, 2005, the Deep Impact mission's probe struck Comet Tempel 1, creating a visible explosion. The Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of the event, showing a large, bright cloud of material erupting from the comet's surface. This impact allowed scientists to study the composition of the comet's interior.
