The fireworks are done. The data collected. The team is now busy analysing the data and answering the myriad questions posed before and after impact. Summaries of the science team's analysis of the data appear here.

Data From Encounter View images and data from the Deep Impact encounter.

	Geology We call the study of rocks and surface features on Earth "geology." What would we call that on a comet?			Jets From a distance, Tempel 1 looked like a quiet comet. Up close, we could see there was a lot more going on.
	Results of Spitzer's Impact Observations Results of Deep Impact Spitzer Observations are reported in the August 4, 2006 issue of Science magazine.			Size & Shape One of the most obvious results was seeing the size and shape just hours before encounter.
	First Spectra from Deep Impact's Infrared Spectrometer The Deep Impact spacecraft sent back infrared spectra as well as optical images.			Surface Ice Finding ice on the surface of Tempel 1 was an unexpected but very exciting result!
	Tempel 1 - What's It Really Like? Scientists have a great deal to learn from the Deep Impact data, but here are some initial findings.			Excavating Comet Tempel 1 Ray Brown tells us about the impactor spacecraft's last moments before colliding with the nucleus and the science being gathered from the data.
	Data Archiving: Where Does the Data Go? Find out how the data for Deep Impact becomes available to the rest of the world.			Future Plans Could the flyby spacecraft return to comet Tempel 1 and observe the impact site?
