Rosetta navigation camera (NavCam) image taken on 6 August 2015 at 261 km from the centre of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The image measures 22.8 km across and has a scale of about 22.3 m/pixel.
The image has been cleaned to remove the more obvious bad pixels and cosmic ray artefacts, and intensities have been scaled.
Another version of this image, which has been enhanced to bring out the details of the comet's activity, is available here.
