After intercepting the speeding comet, a wealth of findings. The photo recently released by ESA and taken by OSIRIS wide-angle camera on the Rosetta space probe, Nov. 22, 2014. ESA/Rosetta/OSIRIS/AP ...

Scientists have found a "high abundance" of oxygen the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko -- but can't yet explain why it is there. The "surprised" European Space Agency (ESA) Scientists discovered ...

Rosetta is set to complete its mission in a controlled descent to the surface of its comet on 30 September. The mission is coming to an end as a result of the spacecraft’s ever-increasing distance ...

In 2015, scientists were puzzled when the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft discovered abundant molecular oxygen bursting from comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P). How could a comet emit ...

Since its arrival at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the European Space Agencys Rosetta spacecraft has been surveying the surface and the environment of this curiously shaped body. But for a long ...

Comet 67P has captivated the attention of astronomers for a very long time, and so it should come as no surprise to anyone that the European Space Agency (ESA) finally broke down and sent a spacecraft ...

When the European Space Agency’s Rosetta spacecraft arrived at Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko in 2014, it revealed a surprising “rubber ducky” shape. Now researchers have combined thousands of images ...

ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft has provided evidence for a daily water-ice cycle on and near the surface of comets. Comets are celestial bodies comprising a mixture of dust and ices, which they periodically ...

Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko has its own version of the northern lights. Observations taken by the Rosetta spacecraft reveal the comet’s aurora, which — unlike Earth’s eye-catching light shows — ...

Early tomorrow morning, November 12, the European Space Agency will attempt to land on comet 67P. The Rosetta spacecraft, which has spent the last 10 years chasing down comet 67P, will release its ...

Approximate true color image of comet 67P taken by the Rosetta spacecraft's OSIRIS Narrow Angle Camera on March 17, 2015. This image is a four frame mosaic, with each color frame imaged through ...
