Ansel Adamsish ?

That almost looks alien!

I continue to be blown away by the fact that we can take such detailed photos of a comet from 20km away.

Not so scary when the gravity is maybe 0.0001 gee.

Good evening.

Does NASA know what the comet is made of?

I'd like to see some gold, and silver, and copper...

Thanks.

Thanks, BenLurkin. Interesting picture.

Great picture!

Not what I expected to see. We need to redouble our efforts at space exploration.

I assume the subject photo and its sisters were taken as the probe approached and not after landing. That said, I’d be curious to know how tall is the cliff in the image you posted. Unless I missed something, the blog post does not indicate any distance figures. It is a remarkable photo. For me the “gravity” of it is still sinking in.

Wowzer! Great picture. Thank you, gentlemen, for the post and ping.
