An examination of the Deep Impact collision site on Comet Tempel 1 via Stardust-NExT: Placing further constraints on cometary surface properties

► We examine the Deep Impact (DI) site on Comet Tempel 1 using Stardust-NExT imagery. ► A barely resolvable, small, shallow, crater now resides at the DI impact location. ► The most analogous material to the DI impact site is a lightly-packed, dry snow. ► We refine ejected mass and ejecta blanket thickness estimates for the DI impact.
