The stereo anaglyph was created by combining two images from the Rosetta spacecraft&#8217;s narrow angle OSIRIS camera taken on September 22, 2014. Stark and jagged, the 3D landscape is found along the Seth region of the comet&#8217;s double-lobed nucleus. It spans about 985 x 820 meters, pocked by circular ridges, depressions, and flattened areas strewn with boulders and debris. The large steep-walled circular pit in the foreground is 180 meters in diameter. Rosetta&#8217;s mission to the comet ended in September 2016 when the spacecraft was commanded to a controlled impact with the comet&#8217;s surface. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s Astronomy Picture of the Day featured an anaglyph image of Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko taken by the Rosetta comet-probing spacecraft.
