2021 November 28 - A High Cliff on Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko

In today's image, we see an image of the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko as taken by the Rosetta spacecraft which orbited this comet during its last approach to the Sun a few years ago. We see a kilometer high cliff - with the low gravity, one could actually survive a jump off of this cliff!
