Nineteen months after the Rosetta mission to Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko ended, the probe's pictures are stirring up fresh flurries of excitement.
Most of the flecks in the foreground of the GIF are actually particles floating far away from Comet 67P—and not on the surface of the icy world.
After a bumpy start, the Rosetta Mission lander is safely on the surface of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, collecting science data and images and sending them back to Earth.
A Twitter user created a gif using raw data released by the European Space Agency showing footage of the surface of Comet 67P. This is the first footage of the surface of a comet.
While consisting of just a few images stacked together to create a clip lasting only a second or two, the GIF reveals something unlike any other image of Comet 67P we have seen before, more ...
The Rosetta probe's Philae lander arrived at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko after a decade of travel.
The Philae lander had quite the exciting end to its 10-year journey to Comet 67P last fall. Now the ESA has just released this GIF of the lander tumbling towards the comet as it left its resting ...
An image from the Rosetta probe shows the Cliffs of Hathor on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Specks and streaks cover the frame. Some of them are dust particles, others are background stars. The ...
I think I’m going to let this one speak for itself: What you’re looking at is the surface of the comet 67p/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, which is orbited by the ...
Remember Rosetta? That comet-chasing European Space Agency (ESA) probe that deployed (and accidentally bounced) its lander Philae on the surface of Comet 67P? This GIF is made up of images Rosetta ...
A GIF using images captured by the European Space Agency’s Rosetta probe shows what appears to be snow falling on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
In 2014, the ESA's Rosetta orbiter reached comet 67P, becoming one of the ESA's most successful space missions. As part of the mission, Rosetta carried a small lander, called Philae, that was sent ...
