Very cool. And that collision is merely one AU away (AU = Astronomical Unit = 93 million miles). That is awfully darned close, by astronomical standards![hsimg]http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2010/images/asteroidcollision/xpatter_strip.jpg[/hsimg]But the big question is, "is it slowing down?";)

Hubble is probably the best thing we ever put in space. That image is truly amazing, and after reading this you can really see a movie scenario like 'Deep Impact' happening.
