For only the third time in history, astronomers have identified what they think is an interstellar object — and it could be ...

These things take millions of years to go from one stellar neighborhood to another, so this thing has likely been traveling ...

The Philae lander was carried to 67P aboard the Rosetta orbiter, which launched in 2004 and arrived at the comet in 2014. When Philae was dropped to the surface, the harpoons designed to hold it ...

Images sent back by ESA's Rosetta probe show that it wasn't only thing orbiting comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P/C-G). A comparison of images taken four years ago when the comet was closest to ...

"Modelling of the Rosetta images indicates that this object spent the first 12 hours after its ejection in an orbital path around 67P/C-G at a distance of between 2.4 and 3.9 km [1.5 to 2.4 miles ...

The library of 70,000 photos, released by the European Space Agency, highlights key features of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko - a 2.5 mile-wide space rock orbiting the planet Jupiter.

Rosetta was a space probe built by the European Space Agency, and launched back on March 2, 2004. Its mission was to land on the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet through a controlled impact.

The probe studied the comet for over two years, up to its final moments, and since then researchers, with the help of citizen scientists, have released incredible images of 67P.

Captured on June 1, 2016 by the Rosetta spacecraft, the images feature towering cliffs of the rubber-ducky shaped comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko surrounded in what appears to be falling snow.
