Abstract
⺠Tempel 1 has two types of terrain, rough pitted and smoother, flow-like materials. ⺠The smooth materials are collected in low regions. ⺠Changes observed between the Deep Impact and Stardust-NExT encounters involve scarp retreat. ⺠Timescales for formation of the surface's topography appear to be tens to perhaps hundreds of orbits.
