Scientists uncovered new insights regarding the potential role of comets, particularly Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, in delivering water to early Earth. A new study led by Kathleen Mandt ...
Alaskans are pretty familiar with a variety of resources that are regularly mined in the state, but perhaps not too familiar ...
Recent findings on a distant comet, 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P), have reopened the case for comets as key water sources. This debate revolves around hydrogen isotopes, the role of dust in ...
while the Rosetta spacecraft on its way to land on the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko was accidentally designated as the asteroid 2007 VN84. The BepiColombo mission to Mercury, NASA's Lucy ...
The research was triggered by results from ESA's Rosetta mission. During this mission, a spacecraft orbited comet 67P between 2014 and 2016. Analyses published in late 2022 showed that the comet's ...
The team studied a rubber duck-shaped comet known as 67P that has two cracks, each longer than a football field, on a neck that connects its two large lobes. The team used numerical models to show ...
Recent research has significantly advanced our understanding of these celestial bodies, particularly through missions like Rosetta, which studied comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. This research has ...
Sixteen different organic molecules were discovered by scientists working on the Rosetta experiment – a project that landed a probe on comet 67P in 2014. These molecules would have been vital ...
The probes were launched on 2 March 2004, travelled 6.4 billion kilometres in 10 years and, with the help of a few planet swing-bys, arrived at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on 6 August 2014. DLR ...
