This is the science section. Bullshit does not fly here. Take yourself back to GC were people think acting retarded is "trolling".

thx for the interest in the topic guys, but can we please stay on topic

the last few months rosetta staid at some distance from the comet to avoid damage from the debris dislodged by the warmer temperatures, now it is moving closer again and recently reached the range where it might be able to make contact with philae again (at least that is what some hope) - for details:

rosetta is getting closer to the comet again:



Single frame enhanced NAVCAM image of Comet 67P/C-G taken on 17 November 2015. Credits: ESA/Rosetta/NAVCAM – CC BY-SA IGO 3.0

NAVCAM image taken on 17 November 2015, when Rosetta was 141.4 km from the nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The spacecraft has not been this close to the nucleus since weeks before perihelion, when the increased amounts of dust due to enhanced comet activity started interfering with navigation and Rosetta remained at larger distances from 67P/C-G.
The scale is 12.1 m/pixel and the image measures 12.3 km across; the contrast was increased to bring out the comet's activity.

and even a few kms closer,

when the spacecraft was 127.7 km from the nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko



Single frame enhanced NAVCAM image of Comet 67P/C-G taken on 22 November 2015. Credits: ESA/Rosetta/NAVCAM – CC BY-SA IGO 3.0

The scale is 10.9 m/pixel and the image measures 11.1 km across. The contrast has been lightly enhanced to bring out the comet's activity without losing details of the nucleus.

merry christmas to all who enjoy information from rosetta's trip

there is now a website dedicated to images taken by osiris:
https://planetgate.mps.mpg.de:8114/Image_of_the_Day/public/

one example:



Single- frame OSIRIS narrow-angle camera image taken on 10 December 2015, when Rosetta was 103.3 km from the nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. The scale is 1.87 m/pixel.
