Contrasting Terrains on Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko
The Rosetta spacecraft captured detailed images of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko's nucleus. This particular view shows contrasting terrains on the comet. The head of the nucleus has rugged grooves, while other areas are smoother, which helped determine where the Philae lander would touch down.
