  Images from the Rosetta probe, now destroyed on the surface of the comet and fated to orbit the sun for millions of years. The probe took the close-ups of the comet as it was on a collision course, from a distance of about 10km. Pretty amazing that this probe took 10 years to get to the comet, and that they managed to hit the thing spot on.

  Neil DeGrasse Tyson said the first guy who figures out how to mine comets will be the world's first Trillionaire.

  The Rosetta even managed to snap an image of the previously landed Philae lander that had lost contact with the European Space Agency previously: http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/05/eu…
