What surface changes happened on Tempel 1 in the 6 years before stardust came past to re image the nucleus?
Are you saying RC, the crater stayed in pristine condition when there are obvious surface changes.
You have seen the blurry grainy pictures they used to measure the diameter of the crater?
I'd expect there to be an electrical component to the impact crater as documented HERE the central mound and the dark "ring" are signature of electrical scarring.
First hint would have been the double flash that Wal Thornhill predicted and the far more energetic "explosion" that was observed, that stopped the primary mission achieving its goal.
If it was ice
Would this not be expected under the mainstream common cometary model?

wiki, then how much sublimed away to make the crater bigger?Water ice was detected in the ejecta.[7] The water ice came from 1 meter below the surface crust (the devolatized layer around the nucleus).[7]
