The Rosetta space probe takes a selfie with the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko
Using a camera included in the Comet Infrared and Visible Analyser (CIVA) of its lander Philae, a few days ago the Rosetta space probe took a really special selfie. On October 7, it was at a distance of about 16 km (about 10 miles) from the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, which appears in the background of the photo, above one of the spacecraft’s solar panels.
