Rosetta Activity Nov. 22

Caption

The wide-angle camera of Rosetta's OSIRIS instrument took this image on Nov. 22, 2014, at a distance of 30 kilometers from Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The image resolution is 2.8 meters per pixel. The nucleus is deliberately overexposed in order to reveal the faint jets of activity.
