Rosetta Comet Marches On

This image, taken by ESA Rosetta navigation camera, was taken from a distance of about 53 miles 86 kilometers from the center of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on March 14, 2015. The image has a resolution of 24 feet (7 meters) per pixel and is cropped and processed to bring out the details of the comet's activity. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA19687

Comet 67P Seen by Kepler

The European Space Agency's Rosetta mission concluded its study of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on Sept. 30, 2016. NASA's planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft observed the comet during the final month of the Rosetta mission, while the comet was not visible from Earth. This ...

Request for those testing the #MacOS27 #GoldenGate beta:

Do you have any #universal apps? Something that claims to have native code and a windows fork, but that has probably been relying on the #Rosetta layer for years?

Does it work on 27 beta? I think many of these apps are also I/O
intensive- driving external hardware cnc, 3d printing, MIDI.

Might they still work via a VM such as Parralels?

Rosetta Closing In

Rosetta Comet: Imaging the Coma

This image of the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, seen with ESAS OSIRIS onboard the Rosetta spacecraft, shows the hazy circular structure to the right and center of the coma is an artifact due to overexposure of the nucleus.
