Corey S PowellThis is the surface of a comet! Dust is swirling around the surface of Comet 67/P -- captured in 2016 by ESA's Rosetta spacecraft, processing by Jacint Roger Perez.
Still one of the most remarkable scenes in space exploration.
10tothe22I believe those are stars in the back ground.
@10tothe22 If you look carefully you can see three components: background stars, cosmic ray streaks on the detector, and comet dust catching the sunlight.
Michael Busch@coreyspowell @10tothe22 I liked that that globular cluster (NGC 362 / Caldwell 104) just happened to pass behind 67P at the time of that image sequence.
