The processed photos released to date all have good contrast and likely have been brightened and stretched to some extent. Have any been processed to show the comet's actual appearance?
I haven't seen much discussion on albedo except mention that 67P/C-G is very dark, as would be expected if much of the nonvolatile remnants on the surface are similar in composition to carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. Karl |
