Cool beans! NASA EPOXI probe had a successful comet encounter this morning. Better, you can use a new online computer animation page to see where it and other space probes are:

Comet Hartley 2

Just saw the first closeup (medium resolution, IIRC, with the high resolution coming later) images of the nucleus. It looks unnervingly like the probe from _Star Trek V_. :-)
