UPDATE: 6:23 a.m. EDT — The Rosetta spacecraft is now less than 1 km (0.62 miles) away from the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, where it will slowly crash-land to end its mission.

Credit: ESA (spacecraft: ESA/ATG medialab) Dr. Marina Galand of Imperial College London led a team that used a physics-based model to integrate measurements made by various instruments aboard Rosetta.

The European Space Agency (ESA) launched its Rosetta mission in 2004 to study the particularly captivating comet 67P, and after a ten-year journey, the mission arrived at its destination. With the ...

Rosetta was the first spacecraft to orbit a comet and over the course of its 12 year mission, the craft captured nearly 100,000 images from space using both a narrow and wide angle camera.

The European Space Agency uploaded the final images from the Rosetta mission to comet 67P earlier this week and the results are quite dazzling. Rosetta was the first spacecraft to orbit a comet and ...
