9P/Temple 1Comet

The comet was discovery by Ernst Tempel of Marseille, France on April 3, 1867. The comet orbits the Sun every 5.5 years in an elliptical orbit between Mars and Jupiter. The comet has a mass of about 140 billion metric tons and is a potato-shaped object that is about 3 kilometers in diameter and over 7.6 kilometers long. On June 30, 2005, the comet's coma was over 60,000 kilometers in diameter. Based upon 50 metric tons of solar dust particle falling on Earth every day, about 1,000 tons of solar dust particles are impact the comet's coma every day or 2 billion kilograms for each orbit around the Sun, which agrees with current estimates.

After studying antimatter for over 70 years, comets were discovered to be composed of antimatter. The announcement was made at April 2002 joint meeting of American Physical Society and American Astronomical Society. When sungrazer comets collided with the Sun, they produce enormous explosions that have damaged communication satellites and disrupted electrical power on Earth. Antimatter comets are also colliding with stars throughout the Universe and are the source of gamma-ray bursts that scientists have been studying for forty years. Antimatter is a mirror image of matter; and like matter can be solid, liquid, gas or plasma. When matter & antimatter come together, energy is created according to Einstein's equation or E = mc2: The most efficient energy source in the Universe.

In 1996, Mike A'Hearn, University of Maryland, proposed colliding a spacecraft traveling at 38 kilometers per second into a comet. NASA rejected his proposal. Two years late, he proposed colliding a spacecraft into the 9P/Tempel 1 comet, which NASA accepted. NASA's $333 million Deep Impact Program�s mission was to learn more about the structure and composition of the comet by making a crater in the comet as shown below. The crater was estimated to range from 10 meter to a football stadium (about 200 meters in diameter) and 30 to 50 meters deep as shown in the computer simulations below. About 75 percent of the material would fall back onto the comet; and the remaining 25 percent would be blow off the comet.

The Kinetic Energy from the spacecraft's collision with the comet would caused a 19 Giga-Joule explosion what would create the crater and eject material in a cone at an angle of around 45 to 50 degrees as show above. If the comet were composed of antimatter, the worst-case scenario would be an explosion equivalent to 16,000-Megaton of TNT and shatter the 140 billion metric ton antimatter comet into trillions of pieces. NASA evaluated their alternatives; and on January 12, 2005, NASA launched the spacecraft and began tracking its progress.

The comet produced a spectrum of radiation including light from the interactions of matter and antimatter.  Solar dust particles blasted antimatter off the comet's nucleus into space to create the comet's coma. The coma is a plasma of ionized matter and antimatter dust particles and ions, which surround the nucleus as shown below. The solar wind pulled the plasma off the coma into the comet's tails, which bend in the direction of the solar wind.

Between May 29-31, 2005, the Deep Impact spacecraft took the pictures of the comet on the left. The comet had a well-formed coma with a detectable point source, which was the comet's nucleus. The comet's coma was about 60,000 kilometers in diameter and is composed of ionized solar and comet dust particles and ions.

The brightness of the comet's nucleus was determined to be close to estimates that were predicted from earlier observations by the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes. The spacecraft used the light from matter and antimatter interactions to target the comet.

In an unplanned dress rehearsal for the rendezvous, the Hubble Space Telescope captured the following dramatic images of a jet of dust streaming from the antimatter 9P/Tempel 1 Comet.

On June 14, 2005, the images below show the dynamic and volatile of what happens when a small asteroid collided with an antimatter comet. The bright dot was the light coming from the comet's nucleus.

The two images were taken seven hours apart and show the comet and the large jet [bright fan-shaped area] pointing in the direction of the Sun. The ambi-plasma jet extended over 2,200 kilometers into the comet's coma. The distance is roughly half the distance across the U.S.

On June 23 and 24, 2005, another small asteroid collided with comet as shown in the pictures below. The average image of the comet has been subtracted from each picture to provide an enhanced view of the outburst. This processing enables measurement of the outflow speed and the details of the dissipation of the outburst. The left image was taken when the comet was very close to its normal.

On June 30, 2005, the Chandra X-ray Observatory observed the Tempel 1 comet. The false-color image shows X-rays coming from the comet, which was caused by matter from solar dust particles annihilation antimatter from the comet. Chandra Observatory plans to observe the comet for 18 hours during the time when NASA's Deep Impact Impactor collides with comet.

The hotlinks and pictures from the collision will be added when they become available.  Ejected material from the crater is expected to cause  X-ray emissions that will move toward the Sun as shown in the pictures above..

According to Mike A'Hearn's article published in the September 8, 2005, issue of Sciencexpress, NASA recorded three explosions when the Impactor spacecraft collided with the 9P/Tempel 1 Comet at 10.2 kilometers per second. The first explosion was less than 200 milliseconds. The second explosion vaporized the spacecraft, pulverized thousand of tons of material, and blasted hundreds of tons of dust particles off the comet into its coma.  The third explosion was downrange from the second explosion and appeared to be from Impactor's propulsion system.
First Contact false-color image shows comet Tempel 1 about 50 minutes after Deep Impact's probe smashed into its surface   The first picture shows the approximate size of the crater NASA expected to see, which was a hundred meter in diameter crater.

The next pictures show the flash, plume and ejection of the dust particles into space that are consistent with a several megaton of TNT explosion. The energy from the second explosion was so large that it saturated the spacecraft's detectors.

The Hubble Space Telescope captured the explosion. Tons of antimatter blasted into the comet's coma interacted with the vaporized Impactor spacecraft and tons of solar dust particles.

For comparison purposes, the colored picture of the second explosion above was taken by NASA's Deep Impact flyby spacecraft at about the same time as the picture in the upper left hand corner by the Hubble Space Telescope.

The hundreds of tons of antimatter that were blasted off the comet were scatter over 3,200 kilometer into the comet's coma. The antimatter dust particles interacted with the hundreds of tons of solar dust particles that were impacting the comet's coma every day.

The explosion or explosions continued for over two days and produced over a billion times more energy than scientists had estimated.

The Mirror Energy was produced when matter and antimatter were brought together. Mirror Energy from the Deep Impact spacecraft was equivalent to 67 billion Giga-Joules. The total Mirror Energy produced from the "conversion" of matter and antimatter was estimated to be equivalent to all the energy that the entire World will be using for the next hundred years.

The collision between NASA�s Impactor spacecraft and 9P/Tempel 1 Comet confirms that comets are composed of antimatter: The greatest discovery since mankind discovered fire thousands of years ago. Since matter and antimatter explosions are classified a Mirror Energy explosions rather than nuclear explosions, the United States didn�t violated the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963. Nuclear explosions are classified as "fission" and "fusion" reactions.
