After 10 years and 6.5 billion kilometers of travel along gravity assist trajectories looping through interplanetary space, Rosetta had approached to within 285 kilometers of its target. The curious double-lobed shape of the nucleus is revealed in amazing detail at an image resolution of 5.3 meters per pixel. About 4 kilometers across, the comet nucleus is presently just over 400 million kilometers from Earth, between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars. Now the first spacecraft to achieve a delicate orbit around a comet, Rosetta will swing to within 50 kilometers and closer in the coming weeks, identifiying candidate sites for landing its probe Philae later this year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/-sfagFx4IPMM\/U-MX9m66TWI\/AAAAAAABD6o\/Fh1utVXlVJw\/w1024-h768\/comet_on_3_august_2014.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Import\u00e9 de <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/104239776541827516598\/posts\/Z97Js6MNXrw\">Google+<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google+ reshared post Rosetta&#8217;s RendezvousImage Credit: +European Space Agency, ESA\u00a0\/ Rosetta \/ MPS for OSIRIS Team; MPS\/UPD\/LAM\/IAA\/SSO\/INTA\/UPM\/DASP\/IDAhttp:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap140807.html On August 3rd, the Rosetta spacecraft&#8217;s narrow angle camera captured this stunning image of the nucleus of Comet 67P\/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
