Latest Images of Comet 67P from the arrival of Rosetta


Arrival image (screen capture) click to embiggen	close up of end of comet

Arrival image just from the press conference on the science of Rosetta and 67P, just downloaded and processed, also an end image, unfortunately I accidental overwrote the activity image and some other close-ups. The image scale is 2.5 meters per pixel.

UPDATE: The high resolution images are at http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Rosetta/Highlights/Postcards_from_Rosetta
