@65dBnoise speaking about impressions: when I see such cracked larger rocks, I can't help but remember the fallen, regularly fractured boulders of #67P imaged by #ESARosetta

Same but different 🙃

8 years today since Philae detached from the #ESARosetta probe towards #67P

Here's my #PlanetArtober 2019 repro of this amazing view of the probe and the comet, as seen from the CIVA instrument on Philae days before the separation. Original photo:

a repro of one of the many impressive views by #ESARosetta on its 2010 flyby. Look at those landslides & boulders for example

Rosetta triumphs at asteroid Lutetia

Asteroid Lutetia has been revealed as a battered world of many craters. ESA’s Rosetta mission has returned the first close-up images of the asteroid showing it is most probably a primitive survivor from the violent birth of the Solar System.

Amazing short movie of the Rosetta probe around comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P), created with "digitally enhanced real-footage from the probe".

You'll feel like you're floating just above the comet in some parts.
