Confusion about Deep Impact

Roger Curry Jun 18, 2005

The recent S&T news bulletin talked about Deep Impact and comet Tempel
1. I thought it was comet Tempel 9. I don't even find Tempel 1 in the
comets listed in the Quick Info, though they talk about the comet being
near Spica and Tempel 9 is not too far from there now. Has this comet
got two names? The NASA website also calls it Tempel 1.

Thanks in advance.
