Impactful viewing.

Although Deep Impact is scheduled to smack into Comet Tempel 1 at 1:52am Eastern time on July 4, it won't be visible from that time zone.

But we might get to see the show here on the West Coast. Time: 10:52pm. Or 2252, in more official terms.

The comet is too small and far away to see with the naked eye, but the mess it will make of the comet might be visible with naked eyes or binoculars, as a blast of white haze near the planet Jupiter (the brightest object in the Wetern sky) and the bright star Spica.
