Comet on 9 April 2016 – OSIRIS wide-angle camera

OSIRIS wide-angle camera image taken on 9 April 2016, when Rosetta was 29.9 km from Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. The scale is 2.86 m/pixel.

The unique viewing geometry is such that the spacecraft is positioned almost exactly between the Sun and comet, revealing characteristics of the surface that cannot be seen otherwise.
