83 km. Fantastic
Can this Comet really walk on water?
Is it density really only 300kg per cubic meter.
Very hard to believe from the pictures
These are so fascinating images, have never ever seen the comet from such close quarters .. wonder how will it behave once it gets close to Sun? Fantastic work by ESA and team…
