  Tempel 1, Comet 9P/
Comet Tempel 1 was the target for NASA's Deep Impact mission which successfully smashed a copper projectile into the comet's surface and observed the outcome of the impact from the flyby craft.
Tempel 1 heats up and cool down rapidly, a thermal cycling that bakes the ices out of the material near the surface contributing somewhat to the comet's powdery consistency.
Because large amounts of certain molecules appear in the gas ejected by the impactor's crash, it is suggested that the impact has excavated ices not normally boiled off into the coma and tail.

 Comet 9P/Tempel 1 - Explore the Cosmos | The Planetary Society
Instead, Tempel 1 is a fairly typical member of the Jupiter family of comets, selected for study by Deep Impact because it was in a convenient location in the sky and was considered a representative comet.
The coma of Tempel 1 was observed for a long time from Earth and space before the impact, and it contained gases that are typical for comets: simple compounds like water, hydrogen cyanide, and carbon dioxide.
That fluffiness may mean that Tempel 1 really hasn't changed a lot since it first coalesced from tiny, fluffy dust particles in the solar nebula, and that Deep Impact found what it was looking for: a relic from the formation of the solar system.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Wilhelm Tempel
Tempel began his career in Marseilles with the discoveries of a comet (1860 IV) on 22 October, and of two minor planets on 4 and 8 March, 1861, all with his own 4-inch comet-seeker, on the terrace of the observatory.
Unfortunately for Tempel, d'Arrest was the very one who criticized his publication on the Merope-Nebula as exaggerated, although the controversy ended in justifying Tempel's assertion, that nebulae must be observed with low magnifying powers.
Tempel was elected foreign associate of the Royal Astronomical Society of England in 1881, together with Gyldén, Pickering, Tietjen, and Tisserand (Monthly Notices, XLI, 377).

Comet Tempel 1, hit in early July by an 820-pound probe, appears to be coated with fine powder rather than solid ice and rock.
Tempel 1 is much different from either of those, yet in the grand scheme it is likely still a garden variety comet, A'Hearn and his colleagues said.
Tempel 1 is also dotted with round depressions that the scientists think are impact craters, which have not been seen before on comets.

 ESA - Rosetta - Tempel 1: Biography of a comet
Tempel was born on 4 December 1821 in Saxony, one of 12 children.
Tempel observed and recorded a number of nebulae and, along with the American Horace Tuttle, he discovered the parent comet of the Leonid meteors in 1866 (Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle).
Tempel 1 is a short-period comet, meaning that it moves around the Sun in an elliptical orbit between the planets Mars and Jupiter in a relatively short time.

 9P/Tempel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, Tempel 1's orbit occasionally brings it sufficiently close to Jupiter to be altered and its orbital period consequently change.
Tempel 1 was re-discovered 13 orbits later, in the 1960s (as 9P/1967 L1, 1966 VII) after American astronomer Brian G. Marsden performed precise calculations of the comet's orbit, taking into account Jupiter's perturbations.
Initial inspection revealed nothing, but in late 1968 she found a June 8, 1967 exposure (Tempel 1 had passed perihelion in January) that held the image of an 18th magnitude diffuse object very close to where Marsden had predicted the comet to be.

 Wilhelm Tempel
But Tempel continued to show himself an indefatigable observer, and as he had only his 4-inch refractor he was naturally induced to remain faithful to the field of work in which he had first been successful – that of comet-seeking.
Among the eight comets which he found while at Marseilles, [1] the first one of 1866 attracted great attention from its connection with the November meteors, while the second one of 1867 was found to belong to the interesting class of periodic comets of short period.
Towards the end of 1874 Tempel left Milan to accept the post of Assistant in charge of the Arcetri Observatory, which is connected with the Reale Instituto di studi superiori of Florence.

 SPACE.com -- The History of Tempel 1, the 'Deep Impact' Target
On the night of April 3, 1867, at Marseilles Observatory in France, Wilhelm Tempel discovered a ninth-magnitude comet near the star Zubeneschamali, in the constellation of Libra, the Scales.
Despite its poor showing, however, Tempel’s find attracted considerable attention when calculations showed that it was moving around the Sun in an elliptical orbit, taking only about 5½ years to complete one trip around the Sun.
In fact, the next expected approach of Comet Tempel 1 to the Sun was delayed by 118 days in early 1873, all because of Jupiter’s interference.

Astronomers hope the eruption of dust seen in these observations is a preview of the fireworks that may come 4 July, when a probe from the Deep Impact spacecraft will slam into the comet, possibly blasting off material and giving rise to a similar dust plume.
Tempel 1 has been moving closer to the Sun, and perhaps the increasing heat opened up a crack in the comet's dark, crusty surface.

 The Missing Water Of Comet Tempel 1
We have long suggested that, after Deep Impact, scientists would be scratching their heads over the lack of subsurface water -- the last hope of the dirty snowball theory.
"With the imminent arrival of the 'Deep Impact' spacecraft at the comet Tempel 1, it is time to test competing theories on the nature of comets.
Strangely, this shift in theory was never accompanied by any attempt to reckon with the problems inherent in placing an insulating layer around ice which, even when directly exposed to the Sun (as on the planet Mars at Tempel's distance from the Sun) does not behave the way their models required.

One of the most formidable of the German Krautrock groups, Ash Ra Tempel were a powerful force led by guitarist Manuel Göttsching, and whose ranks also included (former Tangerine Dream) drummer Klaus Schulze at various points as well as, later on, former Agitation Free guitarist Lutz Ulbrich.
Ash Ra Tempel is a completely instrumental work, and makes use of furious percussion, droning keyboards and guitars, and masterful use of repetitive tension as well as dense, mysterious atmospheres before releasing into explosive solo guitar licks courtesy of Göttsching.
The follow up to Ash Ra Tempel's classic debut sees the departure of Klaus Schulze as well as the introduction of vocals, marking a slight change in the direction of the band.

For February, notice that Tempel 1 is roughly in the same direction as Jupiter and that if it were midnight in your location, you'd have to look towards the east to see them.
For March, notice that Tempel 1 is more in line with Jupiter when we look from overhead, but if we look from the sides, we see that because of the inclination of the comet's orbit, it's not perfectly in line.
For June going into July, Tempel is just to the left of the sun so it is essentially in the western sky after sunset.

 9P/Tempel 1
Tempel noted the comet had an apparent diameter of 4-5 arc minutes and noted "several little stars" pulsating in the middle.
The comet was very well placed during the 1867 discovery apparition thanks to the closest approach to Earth (0.568 AU) and the perihelion (1.562 AU) occurring on May 15 and 24, respectively.
Predictions were made for the 1879 return, with the most ambitious being that of Raoul Gautier who computed definitive orbits for the previous two appearances before making his prediction for the upcoming return.
