This animation comprises 24 montages based on images acquired by the navigation camera on ESA's Rosetta spacecraft orbiting Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko between 19 November and 3 December 2014.
Each montage comprises four individual images taken over a 20-minute period, either around 11:00 GMT (12:00 CET) or 23:00 GMT (0:00 Next Day CET). The montages are shown in reverse chronological order, starting from the four images taken on 2 December, then showing those from the previous day, and so on, until the second-last montage in the sequence, which comprises images taken on 19 November; the last montage is from 3 December.
During this period, Rosetta completed an almost full revolution at 30 km from the comet. These images were selected in such a way that their sequence appears to be continuous, a combined effect of Rosetta's motion with respect to the comet and the comet’s own rotation (every 12.4 hours).
The set of 24 montages from this animation can be downloaded here. The set of 96 individual frames that make up the montages can also be downloaded here.
The movie is also available as an animated gif that loops, from this page.
More images of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko can be found in the '67P - by Rosetta' collection.
