The most weighty of these characters will be launched up as the next impactor in any follow-up mission. So they are not forgotten, you see.

Yes, the rayed points contracting to the comet nucleus is the impactor. I'm hunting for the medium resolution images, they look better.

Let's hope the comet does not retaliate.

I was watching the comet through 10XS50 Binoc's. At impact the image went from a fuzzy white bloob to a "star like"
image. 30 minutes later the image was still very bright.
Once in a life time event.

I missed it - complete severe thunderstorm cloud cover.
I got lightning rather than celestial fireworks.
