I think I heard it mentioned during the press conference today, (I can't find it now), about Rosetta itself possibly landing eventually, similar to what NEAR did at the end of the main mission at Eros? Since it's not like there's anywhere else to go with the remaining delta-v left by the end of 2015, and sunlight levels and activity starting to drop after perihelion, and the low gravity makes the difference between orbiting and 'landing' trivial. The whole thing would weigh a kilo or two, right?
Obviously there's a few more pressing concerns right now, but it's something to eventually think about. |

Lovely mosaic eliBonora! The one on the ESA blog has a blurry seam, where the foreground and background limbs meet, that had me scratching my head until I saw yours
Here are a couple attempts at anaglyphs from the Dec 1st and 2nd NAVCAM images, made from the slices where the bottom two (foreground) images overlap. Some artistic liberties have been taken to account for areas which were shaded in one image and lit in the other. |

I think the difference is that we combine these comets by hand and we don't use the software's blending option. -------------------- |
