Deep Impact
Catastrophic celestial collision
Deep Impact is a 1998 American disaster film about a comet on collision course with Earth.
The title has become shorthand for extinction-level asteroid or comet threats: Scientists dismissed comparisons to Deep Impact.
NASA also named a 2005 space probe Deep Impact, which deliberately collided with a comet to study its composition.
