New Incredible Photo Reveals Titanic Cliffs In Rosetta’s Comet

Just when I thought I’d had enough of Rosetta’s photos of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, ESA has released a four-image mosaic that shows an incredible cliff more than one kilometer (0.62 miles) high. The image was taken from a distance of 20.1 kilometers, on December 10.
