Rosetta Catches Comet Outburst

Hey Space Placers!

I am still thinking of Proxima b - see yesterday's blog.

But OUR solar system keeps busy too.

ESA's Rosetta spacecraft, which will be finishing its historic mission to Comet 67P next month, captured an outburst in February this year and released this GIF today.

I am headed for Azamara Quest for a 2 week voyage. I hope to keep in touch.
