Thanks, I've fixed the caption. Also, it's been pointed out in the comments to my blog post that CIVA-P is not a color camera; the photo was colorized before release. Shame on ESA for not mentioning that.

It's interesting that CIVA-P isn't color camera, so for color panorama, we'll need color images from ROSETTA's OSIRIS cameras.
Another Philae imagers CIVA-M and ROLIS are capable of color photography, but only in case of small area under lander (ROLIS) or even smaller (~3 mm diameter) extreme close-ups (CIVA-M). -------------------- |

Less than a year until Rosetta's hibernation ends, too (January 20th, 2014).

CIVA-P is only one of a whole bunch and it will make a panoramic image of the Philae landing area. The fact that additionaly CIVA-P and not only Osiris made images of Mars during swing by was that by luck they were able to ave it in their view. The Lander is stored at the outside of Rosetta andall the instruments are made to operate on the surface of the comet and not during cruise and fly bys. |
