true. but same logic aplies to kinetic. There is no gases or liquids out there. I looked up Heat of fusion for silicon (most common material out there) is 50.21 kJ·mol−1 and its Heat of vaporization is 359 kJ·mol−1. On top of that you need energy to make the vaporized material become ionized so we get the flash and visible light. The flash is huge. So the volume of ionized gas have to be large. now the velocity of the impactor was around 10.3 km/s with mass 370 kg.
some ppl outside of the main stream scientific community believe there was an intense electric discharge phenomena. due to this unconventional idea about comets being electrically charged celestial bodies.
just wiki deep impact. btw no one from nasa expected the explosion to be that big. and no one expected these highly pulverized super fine dust particles.
Thank you for your input, but I was referring to the Deep Impact Probe being the artificial meteor. I never knew so much data was retrieved from this mission.
Take THAT you dumb comet...

SO apart from Scientists having a ball what is the benefit to mankind to justify these costs ??

How fast was the comet traveling through space?

@killer fish ... you also know they are dirty snowballs right? ;) extra bowl of fail for you!
@ActiveStorage .... the fine dust is a sign if "electrical-etching" ... as per the pre-strike flash ... google Holoscience

Why settle for pseudoscience when real science explains it quite well?
Bright flash = lots of photons.
Fine dust = impact ejecta.
No need for EU nonsense.

yeah, im not a scientist. maybe the flash was just due to a kinetic impact

some say it wasnt just a "sheer kinetic force" that created the explosion

the whole mission was worth it if only to see the explosion

That explosion was huge! Does anyone know the size of the impactor?

A scientific man-made asteroid. Amazing indeed.
