Image: Rosetta passed his appointment with "his" comet
After a run of ten years, 6.5 billion miles and visit two asteroids, Steins and Lutetia, the valiant European Rosetta has successfully completed its approach to comet 67P / the comet 67P alias / CG, or Chury. The first pictures, about 100 km, show a very irregular object, riddled with curious craters.

Reached about 100 km, Rosetta took this picture August 6, 2014 of Comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It shows a tormented body, riddled with craters sometimes honeycomb. The surface, very irregular, is shaped by soft evictions produced by the heating due to the Sun. Since this morning, many experts are trying to decipher this landscape. The probe must remain close to the body for months and get close enough to drop Philae lander 100 kg. © ESA / Rosetta / MPS for Osiris Team / UPD / LAM / IAA / SSO / INTA / UPM / DASP / IDA

It's done! The probe Rosetta has not missed his third and final appointment with a star wandering the Solar System . Launched in 2004, the spacecraft of ESA has grazed the asteroid in 2008 to 800 km and in 2010, was approached Lutetia , 3,000 km, making 400 shots. The European probe lasting place in the long saga of the comet hunting we were telling you yesterday. This time it is the last target but the most complex. Rosetta had to slow to gradually approach the comet / 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko (call Chury), much like a fighter jet intercepts a suspect device. The relative velocity would fall to about 1 m / s (3.6 km / h).
