Mostly Mute Monday: A Comet Comes Alive! (Synopsis) [Starts With A Bang]
“In the year 1456 … a Comet was seen passing Retrograde between the Earth and the sun… Hence I dare venture to foretell, that it will return again in the year 1758.” -Edmond Halley
When ESA’s Rosetta mission “caught” its target, Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in August, 2014, one of its main science goals was to watch the comet become active from up close.

Half a year later, the flux of particles being emitted by the comet has intensified tremendously, and so it’s now time for Rosetta to move on to the next phase of its mission, flying closer to the comet.
