Or, as a friend of mine said, "Please, please don't
hit the Face!"
If it DOES hit Mars, I wonder what observations
visual amateur astronomers can make of it? I think if
it kicks up a dust storm that should be easy to see.
The impact flash seems problematic. 3 MT might be
visible on the Moon from Earth, but Mars? As soon as
the astrometry comes in, these things will all have to
be determined fast--if there indeed is an impact.
