Rosetta spacecraft takes amazing 3D image of comets topography

After over four billion miles and 10 years, the European Space Agency's Rosetta probe reached its target to become the first-ever spacecraft to orbit a comet. Since then, we've received a slow trickle of images taken by the probe. Now, the ESA has released a shot so close to the comet that we can clearly see the space rock's intricate topography. Even better, the team has created a 3D version of the image to really show off the comet's peaks, valleys, and everything else.

Europes Rosetta becomes the first spacecraft to orbit a real, live comet

The ESA's Rosetta probe will now orbit the comet -- dubbed 67P or unofficially the rubber duck -- for a few months, in preparation for an even more exciting event later in the year: In November, Rosetta will deploy Philae, the first ever spacecraft to attempt a landing on a comet.
