Also why aren't there any others
http://deepimpact.umd.edu/collab_pub/images/ lists the whole directory with several images.

The page is http://deepimpact.umd.edu/collab_pub/imagep.shtml but it looks somewhat odd with Firefox.

With regards to your picture, the captions are as:

Quote:
Images of comet Tempel 1 showing a comparison of the pre- and post-impact coma structure. Images were taken at the 4-meter telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory.
[...]
The third picture was taken 46 hours after impact. All pictures have been enhanced to improve the contrast of the dust features.
