Welcome to the Cosmos Observatory website homepage! I created this site in order to share my experiences in various areas of amateur astronomy, including astrophotography, photometry, and telescope building. Come on in and browse around. Above all, enjoy! 

DEEP IMPACT SUCCESS!!!

NASA's Deep Impact Mission scored a huge success on July 4th smashing right into Comet Temple at more than 24,000 mph! Just Google Deep Impact Images for any number of good news stories on the subject, but the best treatment is probably on the NASA site, HERE.

This spectacular image of comet Tempel 1 was taken 67 seconds after it obliterated Deep Impact's impactor spacecraft.
