Comet 67P/Churyumov Gerasimenko Turns Out to Be Both a Blessing and a Curse (+Video)
The new observations suggest the comet is 2.2 by 2.5 miles (3.5 by 4 kilometres) in size, reports the Planetary Society’s Emily Lakdawalla.
Rosetta and the comet will be closest to the sun in August 2015, when they will be between the orbits of Earth and Mars. http://tinyurl.com/q4gptbr
In November of this year the Philae lander will be sent to touch down on the surface of the comet , which will be the first landing ever performed on a comet. Here, harpoons will be fired into the surface to keep it anchored while it studies its surroundings
It was already shaping up to be one of the greatest missions this decade, but now Rosetta could turn out to be one of the most amazing space endeavours of all time.
Remarkable new photos have shown that its target, 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is actually what is known as a ‘contact binary’.
This means it is likely two comets stitched together, in what could turn out to be both a blessing and a curse for the spacecraft as it nears its approach.
