Historic exploration of comet Chouri by NASA's Rosetta mission
NASA. LARGE FORMAT. On September 20, 1969, Ukrainian astrophysicists Klim Churyumovet-Svetlana Gerasimenko from the University of Kiev (Ukraine) discovered an extraordinary and historic close-up view of the famous comet 67P/Churumov-Guerasimenko or "Chouri". It was spectacularly explored by the European Space Agency's "Rosetta" space probe, whose mission culminated in the landing of the "Philae" lander on the comet's surface on November 12, 2014. The "Rosetta" mission was named after the Rosetta Stone, an ancient Egyptian stele fragment containing three versions of the same text, which enabled Frenchman Champollion to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs in the 19th century.
