  1. Rosetta Comet: Imaging the Coma

    This image of the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, seen with ESAS OSIRIS onboard the Rosetta spacecraft, shows the hazy circular structure to the right and center of the coma is an artifact due to overexposure of the nucleus.

  5. Philae Lander View of Perihelion Cliff on Comet Surface

    From the location where it came to rest after bounces, the Philae lander of the European Space Agency Rosetta mission captured this view of a cliff on the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The feature is called Perihelion Cliff.
