This
digital painting by Erik Viktor shows final stage of the Rosetta
Landers’ approach towards the dark surface of Comet Wirtanen.
Note the tiny bluish Sun afar and the Rosetta Orbiter in the background.
Just before touchdown on the gravity poor celestial body Roland fires its retrorocket
to slow down its descend.
