Been awhile since I posted anything on the amazing Rosetta mission, so check this out:
That rectangular black shape you see at the bottom of this pic is of the Rosetta SPACECRAFT. I really can't recall another mission where the spacecraft's shadow was recorded on the surface of the celestial body it was orbiting.
This remarkable pic shows the surface of Comet 67P as it appeared on Valentine's Day 2015.
Rosetta will be orbiting the comet while it gets closer and closer to the Sun. What a ring side seat we are going to have!
