Single image. The right frame is the whole field of view. The spacecraft is only sending the bit with the image and the data of where that is within the frame. Cuts data usage. Expect it to go full frame later.

I sit corrected. Always welcome understanding.

I /thought/ there was going to be a CubeSat following along. Ejected in such a way that it did a fly-by rather than intercept.

I was literally in tears watching that.

An example of what can happen when people work together. Rather than pull each other down.

Crabs in a barrel doesn't scale.

There is that, but it will be a low bit rate return. It has an umpire's view of the event. Expect the first return of the cube sat images tomorrow or the next day.

In case anybody missed it, ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) got some good images. This YouTube is from the ATLAS footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPaaDSIS-tY

Bruce Willis on board?

With a ton of TNT or something?

If not, no fun...

Looks like it did something other than kick up a lot of dust.

Yep, we changed the direction, like Trevor said, before it was not going in our direction. Now it is...

I happened to come across this article.

Horror vacui.

I stayed up to watch as did my 80-year-old brother. He is a USAF veteran of The Vietnam War. I had always wondered how they came up with the name Artemis. Somebody mentioned that in Greek Mythology, Artemis is the twin sister of Apollo.
