This is an image publicly released by the European Space Agency, ESA, on Thursday Aug. 25, 2016. Rosetta’s instruments detected an outburst event from Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko on Feb. 19, 2016. The source was traced back to a location in the Atum region, on the comet’s large lobe, as indicated in this image. The inset image was taken a few hours after the outburst by Rosetta’s NavCam and shows the approximate source location. The image at left was taken on March 21, 2015 and is shown for context, and so there are some differences in shadowing/illumination as a result of the images being acquired at very different times.
