Comment on J0513-2159 . Our image shows an extension to about 5 mas SE from the brightest feature. The EVN 8 GHz image by Dallacasa et al. (1998), with about five times larger resolution, shows an extension from the brightest feature roughly opposite to our direction. As noted by Dallacasa et al. (1998), the structure detected has a highly inverted spectrum, which, together with the reported variability in the source, could explain the structural disagreement. ...

... Pierr Simone Laplas.) For his bright intellect and an outstanding achievements in several sciences (astronomy, physics, mathematics) Laplas was called "a French Newton". He became a consistent follower of Newton and rut a task before himself of explaining the planets motion, the movement of their satellites, the ocean rising tides in the Earth and a complicated motion of the Moon. Laplas showed that the planets inequalities should be periodical (based on Newton's gravitation principal). ...

... NASA, Maas Digital This animation shows a conceptualized view of Deep Impact's encounter with comet Tempel 1. Approximately 24 hours before impact, the flyby spacecraft releases the impactor into the comet's path. The impactor uses control software and thrusters to guide itself towards the nucleus of the comet. ... The resulting collision between comet and impactor will likely punch a crater, anywhere from the size of a Sport Utility Vehicle to a football stadium, into the comet's nucleus. ...
