Tags: Curiosity · Space · Exploration
Under 10 km above comet 67P the dust field looked alive. I processed the first Rosetta goodbye landing image to reduce noise and increase contrast. You can see cometary dust particles moving in varied directions and lengths. Phil Stooke sent me a 67P animated GIF showing the motion.
Rolly's Take
This blog speaks to the curious minds who find wonder in the microscopic dance of cosmic dust, those who see beauty in the minutiae of space exploration.
