BIG NEWS! The " Deep Impact" space probe successfully smashed into a comet half the size of Manhattan

"Our experiment went very, very well," said co-investigator Pete Schultz of Brown University, who seemed to be brimming with enthusiasm. "We touched a comet and we touched it hard." Image courtesy of NASA. Nasa's "Deep Impact" details.
The Data Center is a public facility designed to make available to all researchers, educators and the general public the vast amount of image data obtained by the U.S. Space Program from 1962 to the present. Nearby colleges, schools and research institutions are encouraged to use the center. Group tours can also be arranged.

The Data Center collection contains a wide range of products including: photographic prints, CD-ROMs, microfilms, transparencies, maps, mission support documents, and scientific reference books from the various NASA missions conducted over the past 30 years. Special equipment is available to users including a Power Mac G3 with DVD, CD-ROM, and zip drives, Sun Micro-Systems Ultra10 Stations, a 500Mhz Celeron PC, video cassette and disk players, and a microfilm-fiche viewer.
