Solar System Snapshots #14 MOUNTAINEER'S DREAM? Though this object speeds through space at up to 38 km/s, it appears supremely still in this image, like a desert scene bathed in moonlight. A European Space Agency mission entered orbit around this object on September 10, 2014; its lander touched down on the body two months later. The image was taken from about 8 km above the surface. 28 JUNE 2022 * SKY & TELESCOPE #14: ESA / ROSETTA / MPS FOR OSIRIS TEAM MPS / UPD / LAM / IAA / SSO / INTA / UPM / DASP / IDA
