This striking view of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko reveals portions of both comet lobes, with dramatic shadows on the ‘neck’ region between them. It was taken by the Rosetta Mission’s navigation camera on 30 June, from a distance of 25.8 km, and measures about 2.3 km across. See http://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/2016/07/Comet_cliffs
