High-resolution image of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko's surface, taken by the Rosetta spacecraft during its final descent on September 30, 2016. The image shows a stark, rocky landscape spanning over 600 meters, captured from a distance of about 16 kilometers. This marks the end of the Rosetta mission, a groundbreaking exploration of one of the Solar System's most primordial worlds.
