The European Space Agency shared a new picture of Comet 67P/Churyumov- Gerasimenko this week, and it is gorgeous.
After a slew of close-up images of the comet's rugged surface, it's nice to see the whole 2.5-mile-long nucleus, and its amazing gas and dust jets in their entirety.
The picture was taken Feb. 6 with the Rosetta's NAVCAM, when the orbiter was about 100 miles from the comet.
