This 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.

@coreyspowell @nyrath Why does this give me "sci-fi B-movie from the 50s-60s" vibes?
@maxthefox @coreyspowell @nyrath the weirdly fluctuating exposure definitely gives it that early film camera look
@maxthefox @coreyspowell @nyrath It could be a clip from "Doctor Who and The Tenth Planet".
