Dust cloud surrounding Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
The dust cloud, or coma, surrounding Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko extends over an area of 150 by 150 kilometres. The image was acquired on 25 July 2014 with an exposure time of 330 seconds. Due to the overexposure of the bright nucleus, artifacts such as the blurred light structure to the right of the nucleus and at the centre of the nucleus have been created.
