Launched in 2004, the ESA’s Rosetta space probe spent 10 years flying to the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67p), circled it for two years, and then culminated its mission with a controlled hard landing. Now video artist Christian Stangl and composer Wolfgang Stangl have teamed up to create The Comet, a 3 minute 25 second movie made from digitally-enhanced footage derived from the images the ESA released from the mission. “Watch the beauty of an active alien body, far out in the depths of our solar system.”
Syfy Wire calls it “a moving and stunning tribute to this mission… The comet is as alien a place as we have in the solar system.”
