Hi Larry, all -

Thanks for the quick explanation of the bright rays as
being still visible impact glasses. Now if we only
knew how long it takes the rays to become obscured.

Along with the new images coming in from Cassini, and
recovered earlier images, we might end up with some
decent models of flux and accretion.

I am wondering, do any of the spectrographic
instruments have sufficient resolution to even give a
hint as to what hit, asteroid or comet?
