Happy New Year and welcome back to the Rosetta blog!

We’re looking forward to sharing more scientific discoveries with you as Rosetta continues to study Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in unprecedented detail, all the way up to its dramatic finale in September that will see the spacecraft conclude its incredible mission on the surface of the comet (read more about that here).

But first, to start the new year, check out the images of the comet published via the OSIRIS image of the day website over the holiday period – we’ve collected them together in an image slideshow, here.
