In this sequence of images, the one at left was taken at 8:06 a.m. CDT and doesn’t show any visible signs of the jet. 18 minutes later at 8:24, it’s very bright and distinct (middle image) with only residual traces of activity remaining in the final photo made at 8:42. The photos were taken from a distance of 116 miles (186 km) from the center of the comet. Copyright: ESA/Rosetta/MPS for OSIRIS Team MPS/UPD/LAM/IAA/SSO/INTA/UPM/DASP/IDA 1 posted on

One more such outburst and I’ll clear the entire solar system inside the orbit of Venus.

I usually prefer that when Rosetta starts outgassing she do it when he’s as far away from me as possible.

They fired thrusters. Fixing a navigational error, no doubt.
