These two images, taken seven hours apart on 14 June, show Tempel 1 and its new jet. The image at left, taken at 07:17(UT/GMT), is a view of the comet before the outburst.

The photo at right, snapped at 14:15 (UT/GMT), reveals the jet (the bright fan-shaped area). The jet is pointing in the direction of the Sun, and is about 2200 kilometres wide.
