#SpaceScience image of the week features #Rosetta. #ValentinesDay 2015 and ESA’s Rosetta swooped in towards Comet #67P for a daring close encounter. At just 6 km from the surface, it was the closest the spacecraft had ever been to the comet at that point in the mission.

The 14 February flyby was not only special because of its proximity, Rosetta also passed through a unique observational geometry: for a short time the Sun, craft and comet were exactly aligned. In this position, surface structures cast almost no shadows, allowing the reflection properties of the surface material to be determined.

Space science image of the week: the final image from the #Rosetta spacecraft, taken just before #cometlanding on 30 September, showing the impact point which has since been named Sais after Egyptian home of Rosetta Stone.

Scientists analysing the final telemetry sent by #Rosetta immediately before it shut down on the surface of the comet last year have reconstructed one last image of its touchdown site.

After more than 12 years in space, and two years following #Comet 67P -
Churyumov–Gerasimenko as they orbited the Sun, Rosetta’s historic mission concluded on 30 September with the spacecraft descending onto the comet in a region hosting several ancient pits.

It returned a wealth of detailed images and scientific data on the comet’s gas, dust and plasma as it drew closer to the surface.

But there was one last surprise in store for the camera team, who managed to reconstruct the final telemetry packets into a sharp image.
