Rosetta NavCam Mosaic

Caption

Data from Southwest Research Institute-led instruments aboard ESA's Rosetta spacecraft helped reveal unique ultraviolet auroral emissions around irregularly shaped Comet 67P. Although these auroras are outside the visible spectra, other auroras have been seen at various planets and moons in our solar system and even around a distant star.
