NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“62 Kilometers above Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko” is copyrighted by Elisabetta Bonora & Marco Faccin (Alive Universe Images). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

The Rosetta spacecraft continues to orbit and map Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko, which it reached after a ten-year journey. This reconstructed-color image, taken about ten days ago, shows how dark the comet's nucleus is. On average, the comet's surface reflects only about four percent of visible light, making it as dark as coal.
