The Rosetta selfie texture and cables are your solar wing.
The Rosetta spacecraft, closer than anyone has ever been a comet, sent this photograph of herself about 50km away from 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the purpose of his mission.
In the remarkable cosmic selfie can see details protective mantle which covers the satellite and the brightness of its solar wings 14m in contrast to the black space.
The comet 67P has a more uneven ground than expected, according to Rosetta discovered.
Above is the comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
The image was taken with a camera on the Philae module, which in a few weeks attempt to land on the 67P.
As the ship was approaching its prey, was revealing the steep, uneven surface of the celestial body.
So, scientists believe that the Philae landing will be harder than they thought.
Thanks to Rosetta information, researchers were able to create a colorful map of 67P reveals an extraordinary landscape, divided into different regions according to their composition.
Cliffs, channels, craters and huge boulders shape the different terrains of the comet.
The map will help, experts expect, choose the best place to land, something that had never been tried before.
The different geographical regions of the comet 67P, the scientists of the Rosetta mission.
