Yea, that might explain why the splatter on Tempel 1 was a little bigger than
the spatter of a typical fat gnat on a truck windsheild (or 31 gnats on the
windshield for that matter).
Now for the important question:
Does it look inside

It's like the world's tiniest gnat smacking into the windshield of the

While I agree Deep Impact should not alter the Tempel 1 orbit, but I have to
disagree with the gnat/18 wheeler example as most gnats don't create craters

Depending on the kerf (saw blade thickness) you can get quite a few thin

can polish the new face and glue it to the next slide and do it all over again.
It saves time if you can epoxy one time but get 10 thin
