Jets from Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko
This image, taken by the robotic Rosetta spacecraft, shows plumes of gas and dust escaping from Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Understanding how comet tails and comas originate from the nucleus is an active area of research. This overexposed picture provides one of the best views yet of emerging jets from the comet's nucleus.
