On 14 February 2015, the Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System (OSIRIS) on the Rosetta spacecraft observed the surface of comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko in the Imhotep region with the Sun directly behind it from an altitude of six kilometres. The image resolution is 11 centimetres per pixel. The orbiter’s shadow is visible as a dark rectangular patch in the lower part of the image.
