One of the panelists in the most recent Deep Impact news conference noted that the comet brightened "by a factor of 5" after the impact. He then alluded to the graphic located at: http://esamultimedia.esa.int/images/Science/Deep_Impact/NAC_Clear_Lightcurve... Could some of the science types on the list confirm or correct my guess that what all this means is that it brightened briefly by about 1.5 magnitudes? Thanks, Patrick
