Keeping its distance after the flyby

Keeping its distance after the flyby
On 15 February 2015, the navigation camera on board the Rosetta orbiter captured images of comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko from a distance of 125 kilometres. Among other things, the Imhotep region is shown over which the orbiter had passed just one day previously – on 14 February 2015 – at an altitude of just six kilometres.
