With great sadness, we announce the loss our colleague & friend, Dr. Jay Melosh. He was a @LifeAtPurdue professor, geophysicist, mentor, renowned impact cratering expert, & so much more. The feeling of loss is immeasurable but so is the impact he left on our lives & our science. pic.twitter.com/Q7pGeCrQmd

A true gentleman and a great scientist, Jay Melosh was the theoretical heart of the Deep Impact science team, which previously lost Michael A’Hearn and Michael Belton.
