The spacecraft Rosetta is now orbiting
the Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
It's taking some amazingly clear images including
the one above, the first ever close up of a the
surface of a comet in history of humanity.
Soon we will be landing there.
It truly looks fascinating, and it's only going to look more amazing.
In November Rosetta will launch a robotic probe called Philae to
land and take the first images from the surface itself.
It will also drill into it to learn more about its composition.
This is very exciting, as comets are believed to carry
important information about the origins of the Solar
System and life itself.
Then, as time goes by and the comet gets closer
to the Sun, the fireworks will start
