Great Image: Close-up of Comet 67P

It almost looks fake with that shadow underneath it, but this is a shot of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko taken on June 7th by the Rosetta spacecraft at a distance of 203 kilometers.  Such shots, in addition to the now operational Philae lander, shows the ESA mission has been a tremendous success already and more science is to come.
