Thank you, Rosetta.Video of the surface of Comet Churumov Gerasimenco, which was taken before the collision accident

I feel the atmosphere like the winter scenery of the Tsugaru Strait.

Calculation 6 discovered in 1969.Comet Turumov Gerasimenko in 1957.In 2014, a comet spacecraft of the European Space Organization (ESA) approached Rosetta and dropped a landing machine Firae.

OSIRIS, an infrared floodlight remote imaging system mounted on the Rosetta, performed a comet on July 1, 2016.However, in September 2016, a comet collided, and the mission was completed.

However, on March 22 this year, the RAW data was collected over a year and a half of the accident and released on April 25.

So the Twitter user LANDRU79 connected them to create a GIF image.That's here.It is a video that feels romance.

ありがとう探査機ロゼッタ。衝突事故の前に写していた、チュリュモフ・ゲラシメンコ彗星の地表の映像

The filming surface is a place away from the spacecraft.

According to Mark McCaughrea, a senior adviser ESA, the background constellation is Ominusa.And in the foreground is probably the lightning that caused a high -energy molecule to hit the camera, and the rest was dust or dust.Because it is an infrared camera, something invisible with the naked eye is reflected.

Rosetta weighs 2,900 kg, which is less than 3m square.It departed from France in 2004 on a rocket, reaching Comet Churumov Gerassimenco in 2014.After that, we sent a lot of information to us, but in September 2016 we had a collision in a comet and ended our mission.Nevertheless, it is already romantic that gives us surprises a few years later.
