Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, imaged on 14 July 2014 by the narrow angle camera of OSIRIS, Rosetta's scientific imaging system, from a distance of approximately 12 000 km. The image suggests that the comet may consist of two parts: one segment seems to be rather elongated, while the other appears more bulbous.
More images of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko can be found in the '67P - by Rosetta' collection.
