Comet Cliff Collapse: Before and After

            This collection of images shows the before and after of a cliff collapse in the Seth region of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko as observed by Rosetta. The same boulder is circled in all images to guide the eye when viewing the scene from different orientations.

The before images on the left show the 70 m-long, 1 m-wide fracture at the top of the 134 m-high Aswan cliff (marked with arrow). The last image of the fracture still present was taken on 4 July 2015. Two images taken after the cliff collapse, on the right, show the newly exposed material in the cliff face (top) and the new outline of the cliff top (bottom).

In the center image, a broad plume of dust is captured by Rosetta’s navigation camera on 10 July 2015, which can be traced back to an area on the comet that encompasses the Seth region (the Aswan cliff is included within the marked rectangle).

Taken on: July 1, 2015
