A Stunning New Video Shows a Comet's Surface as It Hurtles Through Space
This is the most beautiful thing we've seen today.
In August 2014, the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft pulled up to Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and studied the gritty, duck-shaped object for 2 years.
Today the ESA continues to publish new images taken by the probe, and in March it released a fresh batch of data.Many of Rosetta's photos were taken in sequence – so Twitter user "landru79" stacked and stitched the pictures into a stunning new timelapse movie, posted Monday.
"Amazing scene from #comet #67P," the ESA tweeted about landru79's work.
The video clip (below) shows roughly 25 minutes of flight past Comet 67P on June 1, 2016. The scene looks like something out of a science-fiction film:

A comet passes by the Sun!
Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS), which under certain conditions is currently visible to the naked eye, has been captured by the SOHO spacecraft. In the center of the image, the Sun is obscured by a coronagraph, while solar eruptions can be seen all around.
