The Deep Impact Flyby spacecraft recently flew past Earth for the last 
time before its flyby of Hartley2 in November. Dr. A’Hearn tells us how 
that went and what team members are currently working on.

•	5th Anniversary
July 4, 2010, marks the 5th anniversary of the Deep Impact encounter 
with 9P/Tempel. We can’t believe that it’s been 5 years! Seems just like 
yesterday that we were getting ready for that mission. Relive the good 
times by exploring the awesome images in the Deep Impact galleries and 
check out what we learned from Deep Impact.

*EDUCATION*
•	Seeing in 3-D: Stereo Pairs
Deep Impact got some really neat pictures of comet Tempel 1. Problem is, 
most people saw them flat on a screen or piece of paper. But the comet 
is three dimensional and interesting details emerge when you can see the 
comet in 3-D. Build your own stereoscope and take a look!

EPOXI E-News features information about the mission, its outreach web 
site, and products, services, and materials available from the EPOXI 
Education and Public Outreach (E/PO) team. The EPOXI mission combines 
two exciting science investigations in an entirely new mission that 
re-uses the Deep Impact spacecraft. The Extrasolar Planet Observation 
and Characterization (EPOCh) investigation observed stars that are known 
to have transiting giant planets. The Deep Impact Extended Investigation 
(DIXI) of comets observes comet 103P/Hartley 2 during a close flyby in 
November 2010. The EPOXI mission is a partnership among the University 
of Maryland (UMD), the California Institute of Technology's Jet 
Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Ball Aerospace and Technology Corp (BATC), 
and Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). EPOXI is a NASA Discovery 
mission of opportunity. See our website at epoxi.umd.edu.
