“A Dust Jet from the Surface of Comet 67P” is copyrighted by ESA, Rosetta, MPS, OSIRIS; UPD/LAM/IAA/SSO/INTA/UPM/DASP/IDA. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteESA's Rosetta spacecraft imaged a jet emerging from Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and flew right through it. The image shows a bright plume emerging from a small circular dip bounded by a 10-meter high wall. Analyses of Rosetta data show that the jet was composed of both dust and water-ice, revealing how comet tails form.
