This mission is pretty cool, and I wish that NASA and the ESA (or JAXA, or anyone) would send more probes like this to a variety of comets and asteroids (I'm especially interested in 90 Antiope because of it's binary nature).
Quoting: Lime Flavoured Redux Yes 90 Antiope is an interesting one, they seem to be orbiting so closely. I loved the discovery of the tiny moon Dactyl orbiting around 243 Ida by the Galileo probe, asteroid moons may turn out to be quite common. [ link to en.wikipedia.org] Comet 67P looks pretty odd too, like two comets have stuck together. Here is the latest image. [ link to imgur.com (secure)] and an older animation. [ link to www.esa.int] Look out for more detailed images in the next few days. K
