Well, the results are out and it seems that comets have ice water on them.
Here are explosion pictures, you pyros.
Swift's X-ray Telescope (XRT) saw the comet continue to release water for some 13 days after the initial event, with a peak five days on from the collision.Isn't it cool? BBC also has the impact in pictures and an animated guide!
X-rays provide a direct measurement of the colossal amount of water thrown out as a result of the impact - the Earth-equivalent volume of about 100 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Universe Today also has the story.
