On August 6, 2014, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta spacecraft officially entered orbit around the comet 67/P Churyumov-Gerasimenko (let’s call it ‘67P’ for short). For the next two years it moved around the comet, taking incredible images, sent down an ill-fated lander, and expanded our knowledge of these icy solar system visitors hugely.
Twitter user landru79 saw an opportunity. They took some of the data, cleaned it up a bit, and then created a video that is as mind-blowing as it is jaw-dropping.
