Go to the site to see the digital model of Rosetta's Comet. Pretty neat! I'm wondering how long it will take for it to split in two?

There is a possibility that it is already two pieces just held together by gravity
But a trip around the sun would probably move them apart if that was true
So what do I know anyway...

This series of images of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was captured by Rosetta’s OSIRIS narrow-angle camera on August 12, 2015, just a few hours before the comet reached the closest point to the sun along its 6.5-year orbit, or perihelion. The images were taken from a distance of about 200 miles (330 km) from the comet. The comet’s activity, at its peak intensity around perihelion and in the weeks that follow, is clearly visible in these spectacular images.
