July's Episode - Deep Impact

NASA are sending a probe into the comet 9P/Tempel-1, early on the morning of July 4th. This is a unique event, from which we hope to find out how comets are made. Are they balls of ice and mud, harbouring the components of life - or just solid rocks of sterile cosmic debris?
Deep Impact hopes to provide the answers. But this destructive act is not without its critics. The Sky at Night explores the pros and cons of hitting a comet.

Broadcast: Monday 4 July, BBC One, 12.35am (subject to regional variations).
Repeats: The Sky at Night is repeated on BBC Two. There is an extended repeat on BBC Four.
