I second that; wow! Especially the observations viewing.
Imhotep is misspelled though... |

Cool that malmer's work was used. I haven't had time to properly check out the feature yet.

So the Philae touch-down point which was initially named Abydos is now named Wosret?

While playing around with map projections for my 67P shapemodel I started playing with different tools for making areapreserving "maplets". When seeing the various pieces they sortof resembled a sewing pattern. So I went ahead and looked for a set of good seam lines that would make as few pieces as possible.
Here is the result: |

I didn't really know where to put this... but it is very cool... it is Comet 67PC-G compared to Los Angeles!
I ran across it on one of my peregrinations about the internet It is by an obviously talented image-artist named Matt Wang. I find that images like this bring the sizes of objects into a sharp focus - a deeper understanding of what we are seeing found it here: http://mentalfloss.com/article/60082/roset...red-los-angeles Thank you Matt Wang -------------------- CLA CLL

A question for the shape modelers: Are their detailed enough observations to detect possible changes in the comet's shape / topography between the period of approach to the Sun and the period of departure? The comet is big and the changes would be small, but are they detectable?
Since things were changing rapidly around perihelion (and Rosetta had to back off for navigation / safety reasons) it seems reasonable to ignore data near perihelion. Steve M |

By shading and shadows, changes at the surface have been detectable even before perihelion.
But I'm unaware of a synopsis of all significant changes between pre and post perihelion. |

Thanks for the link; changes with "the rims of the features expanding by a few tens of centimetres per hour" should add up to something detectable after a year (even though the changes mentioned were only in daylight).
Maybe one of our experts (Malmer?) could develop a before and after model. Some of the earthquake displacement maps from Italy show what might be done to make such small changes visible over a large area. Steve M |

QUOTE A question for the shape modelers: Are their detailed enough observations to detect possible changes in the comet's shape / topography between the period of approach to the Sun and the period of departure? The comet is big and the changes would be small, but are they detectable? should be doable BUT i would guess that the changes might be close to the " error bars " and might have to be puled out of the "noise" i have not tried using stereo pipeline on the released pds data , nor used bundler on the released data for "shape from motion" so it is only a guess |

This video update from ESA indicates (starting about one minute into the report) that isolated changes on Comet 67P C-G have been measured on the order of several meters and that ESA plans to develop a revised shape model to detect further changes in the comet. It seems they think the project will reveal more widespread changes.

I have friends with 3D printers and I'm wanting to have a model of Comet 67P printed. However, 3D printing is one technology I've not explored yet and I'm needing help setting me the right direction. Or is "3D shapemodel" even the correct term for 3D printing?
I recall that Malmer's model was the best 8 years ago, and I see that ESA has one on their website. Suggestions on what I should have my friend use, or where to start looking for a 3D print file... --Bill -------------------- |
