With the large lobe of the comet in the foreground and the small lobe in the background, this image provides another interesting view on the smooth area on the large lobe that was featured prominently in CometWatch 26 April. In today’s image, this portion of the comet, consisting of parts of the Aker and Khepry regions, appears as a bright, slab-like feature pointing upwards. Behind it, on the small lobe, are parts of the rougher Bastet region.

The image has been processed to enhance the activity of 67P/C-G, with jets of material outflowing gloriously from the sunlit parts of both lobes. A bright, diffuse spot in front of the dark underside of the comet’s large lobe, home to the Imhotep region, seems to be strongly suggestive of activity there, too. From this distance, however, it is not immediately possible to know whether this is linked to the dust jet caught emanating from this side of the comet by Rosetta’s OSIRIS camera a few weeks ago.
