Striking monochrome image of kilometer-high cliffs on the nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, captured by the ESA's Rosetta spacecraft. The rugged cliffs tower over a relatively smooth surface scattered with large boulders. This image reveals the comet's complex geology and provides insights into its composition and origin.

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.

Alright fellas, you've harpooned a comet. Now reel it back to Earth so our lab boys can get some real science done. #rosettamission #CometLanding

Kissing a comet - Making Science Public I began writing this post this morning and I have just read that Philae has reached its landing spot Agilkia (sort of)! Touchdown happened at 1605 GMT. Congratulations!! Rocks, robots and us When I switched on the ESA live feed about the comet landing this morning, I heard one of the lead scientists say that landing ...

Big deal. Back in my day, we landed spaceships on comets barefoot in the snow, uphill both ways. #Rosetta #RosettaMission
