12th November · Rosetta Mission · Landing on a comet

Rosetta probe will "land" in comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko on 12th November.

This short science-fiction film is inspired by the Rosetta Mission (with subtitles). Enjoy it!

You can find more details about the Rosetta Mission on SEA official website: http://rosetta.esa.int/

A comet is a small Solar System body than travels around the Sun in highly elliptical orbits. They are irregular in shape. The nucleus is made up of a mass of ice, dust and gas. When comets travel close to the Sun, the ice evaporates, creating their famous long bright tails.

A comet is not an asteroid. Asteroids are made up of metal and rock material and comets are made up of dust, ice and rock. The orbits of the comets are very long. Asteroids are in closer orbits to the Sun.

Rosetta mission is the first mission designed to orbit and land to a comet. It is a European Space Agency Mission. Composed of the module, which has 11 scientific experiments, and a Lander, called Philae. It’s got 10 additional experiments.

1b) Take the picture.

1c) Send it to the teacher - sciencegordon @gmail.com - with the name of the place you took the picture, the moon phase and the time you took the picture.

For example these photos were taken by Eduardo García Gómez the 20th october at 7:50 and at 8:10 from Pola de Gordón. Nice shots, Eduardo!! Moon shows Last Quarter phase, although it is difficult to obtain a clear ohoto without zoom.
