Rosetta's Self-Portrait
Date: 18 May 2004
The European Space Agency's Rosetta comet-chaser took this picture of itself in space. The CIVA micro-imager on the Philae lander returned this image as part of its testing in May 2004.
The back of a solar panel is seen here, with contours on the panel are illuminated by sunlight and surfaces of the spacecraft main body are recognizable at lower right.
