Cosmic collision to give Hawaii prime-time show
Honolulu, HI - Hawaii residents should have front-row seats for a potentially spectacular collision in space on July 3.
The show is the programmed crash of a detachable probe from NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft into Comet Tempel 1 at about 7:52 p.m.
Material ejected from deep inside the crater by the impact will give astronomers a look at what it was like when the solar system was formed 4.5 billion years ago.
