In this artist's impression, the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft deploys the Philae lander to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The image is not to scale; the Rosetta orbiter measures 32 meters across including the solar arrays, while the comet nucleus is thought to be about 4 kilometers wide.
