Hathor and Seth – NavCam

This single frame Rosetta navigation camera image of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was taken on 23 October 2014 from a distance of 9.8 km from the comet centre. The average image scale is approximately 83 cm/pixel and the image measures about 850 m across. The image has been lightly processed to reveal details of the background cliffs and the faint glow of activity.
