On this day: 7 September 2014, the Comet Infrared and Visible Analyser (CIVA) camera on the Rosetta Mission’s Philae lander snapped a ‘selfie’ at Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko from a distance of about 50 km. The picture shows the side of the Rosetta spacecraft and one of Rosetta’s 14 m-long solar wings, with the comet in the background.
