Hope these are interesting & informative for folks here.
Thanks!
Thankyou Ophelia Benson!
You are so well-rounded with your interests that you could be a circle, or even a sphere. Thanks for sharing.
It is things like this that help keep my somewhat battered faith in humanity alive. Thank you.
ESA also posted this cool sequence of images taken last year when Rosetta got close enough to show the comet looked like a rubber duck. (The 76 mages were taken once every 30 minutes, so the comet does not tumble as fast as it looks.)
@ ^ Dave Ricks : Thanks.
