Historical close-up of comet Chouri by NASA's Rosetta mission
NASA. LARGE FORMAT. On September 20, 1969, Ukrainian astrophysicists Klim Churioumov and Svetlana Guérassimenko from the University of Kiev (Ukraine) discovered an extraordinary and historic close-up view of the famous comet 67P/Chourioumov-Guérassimenko 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 name of the "Rosetta" mission is a reference to the Rosetta Stone, an ancient Egyptian stele fragment that contained three versions of the same text, enabling the Frenchman Champollion to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs in the 19th century.
