Rosetta's comet: Churyumov-Gerasimenko
The world was moved to pity when the little Philae spacecraft jumped on Rosetta’s comet into its undoing.
But the European parent probe, Rosetta, continued to orbit the ‘rubber duck‘ comet with the ineffable name and made amazing discoveries. Is 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko really a messenger from that part of the solar system in which the dwarf planets are a baby pluto, so to speak?
The Rosetta mission has long since been concluded. Its findings are summarized in this book that also presents impressive images of comet 67P.
‘Rosetta has completely changed the understanding of comets.’

Da ich nun schon zwei Mal den Vortrag von Dr. Matt Taylor (Projektwissenschaftler der Rosetta Mission, ESA) bei der FedCon live gehört habe, vermisste ich erst ein bisschen die schmissigen Phrasen, die er so drauf hat. Aber zwischen den ganzen, detaillierten technischen Daten gibt es hier auch viel Witz zu verzeichnen - was vielleicht auch an der Namensgebung der “Länder“ auf Tschuri liegt. Ash und Imhotep zum Beispiel. Und daran, dass der Komet die Form einer Quietscheente hat. Der Autor (wenn auch anonym) war hierbei mit sehr viel Witz unterwegs.
