The Webb mission has me diving deep in some space goodness. The Rosetta mission which followed a comet for two years was an amazing look at a sci-fi looking world. What these guys did with the images is amazing.

quote:

In 2016 an exciting mission was ended. The Rosetta spacecraft made its final manouver. A controlled hard-landing on the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67p). Before that Rosetta accompanied the Comet for more then 2 years. It researched valuable scientific data, brought a lander on to the comets surface and took a vast number of pictures. 2017 Esa released over 400000 images from Rosettas comet mission. Based on these material Motion Designer Christian Stangl and Composer Wolfgang Stangl worked together to create this shortfilm. The sequences are digitally enhanced real-footage from the probe. Watch the beauty of an active alien body, far out in the dephts of our solar system.

Cool
I wonder if it is a purposeful black and white camera or if that is the color in the blackness of space?

Probably black and white for bandwidth and possibly lack of color. Would be cool if it did have a different color to it.

I don’t know what I expected the comet to be, but a tumbling chunk of rock/ice is not it. In my mind that’s an asteroid.

I think it becomes a comment when it grows a tail.

Speaking of, it’s time for more morning tail shedding.

Is there a tail? I didn’t see a tail. Maybe the tail is not visible up close?
