WASHINGTON, After a voyage of 173 days and 268
million miles, NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft will get up-close-and-personal
with comet Tempel 1 on July 4.Y.
"The autonav is like we have a little astronaut on board," Grammier said. The flyby
spacecraft has approximately 13 minutes to take images and spectra of the
collision and its result before it must endure a potential blizzard of
particles from the nucleus of the comet.

"The Road to Brown" -- The story of segregation unfolds along with the
career of a brilliant lawyer who defeated Jim Crow laws and launched the
Civil Rights movement.

As a recognized field of scientific study, it operates within the speculative limits of mainstream physical and historical science: that is, it does not postulate such things as ancient astronauts, extraterrestrial visitors, mystical wisdom, magical locations, Atlantis , etc.

The crater produced by the impact could range in size from a large house
up to a football stadium from two to 14 stories deep.
"In the world of science, this is the astronomical equivalent of a 767
airliner running into a mosquito," said Don Yeomans, a Deep Impact mission
scientist at JPL.

"Black Like Me" -- The true story of a white journalist, John Howard
Griffin , who underwent pigmentation treatments to "become" a Negro in the

feeling first hand. Determined to
learn how to read, he plans to one day open a school to teach reading.

Over the next 22 hours, Deep
Impact navigators and mission members, more than 83 million miles away at JPL,
will steer both craft towards the comet .
"It has to navigate and fire thrusters three times to steer the wine cask-
sized impactor into the mountain-sized comet nucleus closing at 23,000 miles
per hour. We know so little about the structure of cometary nuclei
that almost every moment we expect to learn something new. A camera and infrared spectrometer, which comprise the High
Resolution Instrument, are carried on the flyby spacecraft , along with a
Medium Resolution Instrument.
Mission scientists expect the project will answer basic questions about the
formation of the solar system, by offering a better look at the nature and
composition of the frozen celestial travelers we call comets.
