I must be Googling the wrong terms. Has anyone found any “back-yard” astronomy pictures of the plume from the impact? Where are they?
Apparently, there just wasn’t much to be seen.
Thanks. Wow - Keck, Palomar, all the big telescopes saw nada? All the backyard astronomers saw nada? The camera on board saw nada? For such a rousing success, this seems extremely anti-climactic with no visual data.
As Bart would have said it, “It was craptacular.”
Almost Kohoutek-like in its brilliance.
You’ve probably seen this by now, but here are a few bright pixels in the mid-IR range.
When I told Pepper Mill about this, her response was:
“Where’s the KaBoom? There was supposed to be a Moon-Brightening KABOOM!”
