Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by Rosetta's OSIRIS narrow-angle camera on August 3, 2014 from a distance of 285 km. Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko is the object of study of the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission, which rendezvoused with the comet three days later. The Rosetta spacecraft will enter the comet's orbit and identify a site for its Philae lander, which will achieve the first landing on a comet nucleus.
