Comet 67P from 63 Miles
Rosetta spacecraft's navigation camera (NAVCAM) obtained this image of comet 67P/C-G on August 11, 2014, at a distance of about 63 miles (102 km).
Comet 67P from 71 Miles
Rosetta spacecraft's navigation camera (NAVCAM) obtained this image of comet 67P/C-G on August 13, 2014, at a distance of about 71 miles (115 km).
Rosetta's Comet in 3D
You can view this anaglyph image of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko using stereoscopic glasses with red–green/blue filters. Rosetta's OSIRIS narrow-angle camera took the two images combined here on August 7, 2014 from a distance of 65 miles (104 kilometers), separated by 17 minutes.
Comet on 7 August (A)
Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was imaged by spacecraft on 7 August from a distance of 65 miles (104 km). It makes a 3D anaglyph image with another image, the two taken 17 minutes apart.
Comet on 7 August (B)
Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was imaged by spacecraft on 7 August from a distance of 65 miles (104 km). It makes a 3D anaglyph image with another image, the two taken 17 minutes apart.
Comet 67P from 60 Miles
ESA's Rosetta spacecraft took a full-frame NAVCAM image of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on August 6, 2014, from a distance of about 60 miles (96 km.).
Comet 67P from 90 Miles
ESA's Rosetta spacecraft took a full-frame NAVCAM image of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on August 5, 2014, from a distance of about 90 miles (145 km.).
Comet 67P Close-Up
Rosetta spacecraft's OSIRIS narrow-angle camera obtained this close-up detail of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on August 6, 2014. The comet’s "head" lies at the left, casting shadows onto the "neck" and "body" to the right. Read the full story.
Comet 67P Details
Rosetta spacecraft's OSIRIS narrow-angle camera obtained this close-up detail of a smooth region on the "base" of the "body" section of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on August 6, 2014. Read the full story.
Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on Aug. 4: Rosetta
The Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is seen by the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft on Aug. 4, 2014, just two days before the probe's arrival at the comet on Aug. 6, ending a 10-year and 4 billion-mile journey across space. Rosetta captured this photo with its Navcam imager. Read the Full Story Here.
