Actually Foxs News broke in with a news alert and reported the impact and showed the spectacular image of the impacter hitting the comet. On the NASA Channel the head of the mission was almost giddy at the picture. One comment was that the amount of debris coming away from the comet was much more than anticipated.
He also mentioned that because of the small size of the comet it has limited gravity. So, the impact, explosion, debris movement is all happening in slow motion.
Quite a successful night for NASA
I was talking to my daughter in California and she told me that Fox had cut in with a small mention of the event.. but it must have been local to that area... nothing here...no mention of anything in the midwest...I may have missed it..I was searching channels like a mad woman... ;-(
