Compilation of the brightest outbursts seen at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by Rosetta’s OSIRIS narrow-angle camera (white numbers) and Navigation Camera (red numbers) between July and September 2015.

The numbers also correspond to the source locations on the surface of the comet, as indicated in Summer outburst sources.
