Images acquired by the OSIRIS instrument aboard ESAs Rosetta spacecraft in April 2015 reveal that some of the comets dust jets keep on firing even after the Sun has set across those regions. This shows that, as the comet continues to approach its August perihelion date, its now receiving enough solar radiation to warm deeper subsurface materials.
...
Comet 67P and Rosetta (and Philae too!) will come within 185.9 million km of the Sun during perihelion on Aug. 13, 2015 before heading back out into the Solar System.

Again the gravity driven cosmologists are stunned and surprised by something the Electric Universe cosmologists have fully predicted and expected: Comets keep emitting in when the sun is not falling on the dark side. Ping!
