Rosetta flew by the Earth last week and photographed the moon. Next stop is Mars in February 2007.

"After skimming by the Earth at just 1954 km on 4 March 2005, Rosetta turned its Navigation Cameras back towards our home planet "

QUOTE (djellison @ Mar 8 2005, 04:48 PM) Do those images look like they're thru different filters to you? I don't know if Rosetta's Navigation Camera is even capable of taking pictures with different filters. The caption says "These images were recorded by Navigation Camera 1 between 12:47 and 13:08 UTC, 5 March, with an integration time of between 0.01 and 0.05 seconds.", so I imagine the dark image of Earth is the 0.01 seconds exposure and the brightest the 0.05 seconds. |

Yup - the different shades just reminded me of the NEAR earth flyby movie's R,G and B filters

Sunspot, on the ESA homepage, click on 'space science' and click on the Rosetta spacecraft. Voila!
