There is so much about this that is amazing.
For me the it's that 10 years ago they launched this thing and knew exactly where it would go despite traveling 4 billion miles and sling shotting around the Earth and Mars.
I presume they also knew 10 years ago the exact date and time these two objects would meet.
It's also amazing that after this massive journey the technology used is now outdated.
The infographic says the probe was traveling at 84,000mph, is the comet traveling at the same speed?
The mind boggles how this works.
