Rosetta
-
Using statistical computer analysis, astronomers from Western University have reconstructed the orbit of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and say that it's a recent visitor to the inner Solar system from the Kuiper Belt.
-
After 12 years, ESA's Rosetta deep-space probe ended its mission today as it made a controlled impact on the Ma'at region of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. According to mission control in Darmstadt, Germany, the unmanned orbiter struck the surface at 11:20 GMT (1:20 pm CEST).
-
An almost two-year-long cosmic search party has come to an end, with scientists at the European Space Agency spying their Philae comet lander wedged into the dark crack on the surface of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
-
ESA's Rosetta spacecraft has observed a dramatic increase in activity from the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, seemingly brought on by a landslide. The new data will help scientists to further characterize the activity that continues to shape 67P to this day.
-
ESA has released a video detailing the intricate orbit traveled by Rosetta over the past two years, as the probe explored the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.
-
The Rosetta mission is dispelling the notion that comets are leftover bits from crushing cosmic collisions.
-
It has been a long and drawn out farewell, but today the European Space Agency will wave a final goodbye to its Philae lander, the first spacecraft to ever touch down on the surface of a comet.
-
ESA has announced the date upon which mission operators will crash the Rosetta spacecraft into the surface of the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.
-
The Rosetta probe has discovered evidence that key ingredients for life on Earth exist in the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko's atmosphere, throwing further weight behind the idea that these icy trailblazers can double as life-giving space couriers.
-
According to Rosetta's science team, hostile surface conditions prevailing on 67P have rendered any hopes of re-establishing communications with the Philae lander negligible.
-
A new study has used data collected by ESA's Rosetta spacecraft to establish that the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P) is devoid of any large caverns.
-
Data from ESA's Rosetta orbiter has been used to confirm that deposits of ice discovered on the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (67P) are composed of significant quantities of water ice.
