The Snows of Churyumov-Gerasimenko

COSMIC MESSAGE
You couldn't stand on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and see this blizzard. The Rosetta spacecraft, orbiting the comet in 2016, recorded streaks of dust and ice particles. They drifted across the camera's view, close to the camera and above the comet's surface. Some of the bright specks are cosmic rays hitting the camera.
