Images of Earth and Moon captured by Rosetta
 
14 November 2007

Graham land, Antarctica
Download:
 HI-RES JPEG (Size: 202 kb)
This is a composite of two images taken by Rosetta’s navigation camera (NAVCAM) right after Rosetta’s closest approach to Earth. The pictures were taken at 21:55 and 21:56 CET on 13 November, as Rosetta’s second Earth swing-by concluded, while the spacecraft was flying at a height of about 5500 km from the surface.
