 HI-RES JPEG (Size: 89 KB)
This image was recorded by Navigation Camera 1 at 13:08 UTC with an integration time of 0.05 second. The original is 820 x 820 pixels and covers a field of view (FoV) of 4 degrees x 4 degrees. At this time, Rosetta was flying away from the Earth having completed the closest-ever fly-by performed by an ESA mission the day before. Note that cloud tops are over-exposed. At the bottom, Antarctica can be seen on the right below South America.
