CometWatch 15 June
June 24, 2015
Today's CometWatch entry is a single frame NAVCAM image taken on 15 June, when Rosetta was 207 km from the centre of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The resolution is 17.7 m/pixel and the image measures 18.1 km across.
The image is processed to bring out the details of the comet’s activity and to highlight the shadows and silhouettes of its two lobes, which in this orientation shows the small lobe to the left and the large lobe to the right.
