Rosetta's best view yet: Esa releases incredible images of comet from just 620 miles away as the spacecraft closes in

Paris-based Esa is preparing for Rosetta's arrival at its target on Wednesday. It has released images showing the comet's surface in unprecedented detail. Images confirm 'rubber duck' shape of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. They were taken from a distance of just 620 miles (1,000 km) away. Their publication follows controversy over Esa's image release policy.
