Now that the fireworks are over, scientists are sorting through what was learned from the Deep Impact collision with Comet Tempel 1 on July 4.

“It looks like we got a pretty good pop,” Pete Schultz from Brown University told SPACE.com yesterday.

Although Deep Impact’s 820-pound impactor struck the comet’s surface at approximately a 25-degree angle, it was still able to kick up an impressive plume of dust.

A technical glitch briefly exposed what could be the new Netflix download service. Tom writes:

I just noticed in my account info page, there is a section for “Netflix Player” with a link to “Register Player”. If I follow the link, there is a form to “Add a Netflix Player”, and it asks for “Registration ID” and “Name your box”. I haven’t noticed this before. I wonder if this is a new service that they are rolling out. Could this be something to do with movies-on-demand? Or do they have a netflix-branded movie player of some kind? Interesting….

See the screencap after the hop.
