Rosetta drop a lander on the comet/comets. It should be interesting if you're into that stuff.

Not a bad pic from 12,000 k away.

Fascinating. I always wished they would plant some kind of instrument or communications package on a comet. Sort of like putting a beacon on a whale and then tracking it.

Of course with it spinning like that, I don’t suppose you’re going to get any really good visuals.
