A Cliff Looming on Comet 67P
This image from the Rosetta spacecraft shows a jagged cliff looming behind a gravel-strewn hill on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The comet's unusual double-lobed nucleus creates dramatic vistas like this one. The featured cometscape, taken last October, spans about 850 meters across. Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko continues to sprout jets as it approaches its closest point to the Sun.
