The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced that Probe of Rosetta comet has reached 10 kilometers nearer to comet 67P/ Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Rosetta after arriving at the comet has sent several astonishing images of the comet and its surface.

As per sources, researchers plan to scan the comet surface to figure out the best place an accurate landing of the Philae (Lander). The ESA plans to land the probe on the comet on November 11.

The scientists and engineers have already started to set a proper orbit for Rosetta's probe. They say this adjustment in the orbit will be held on August 10, 13, and 17. Also, a mission called "Close Approach Trajectory" (CAT) has also been scheduled for August 20, 24, and 27. This mission will deal with changing the position of the spacecraft.

According to the researchers, Rosetta will orbit around the comet between 29km and 19k from September 10th to October 7th. They also said that the spacecraft will be positioned in such a way that it can collect the solar energy and can take better images of the comet.

As of now, the images collected by the Rosetta offer a detailed view about the surface of the comet. Photographs sent by Rosetta on August 7 from a distance of 65 miles depict that the comets' nucleus is 2.5 miles in diameter.
As per the report, the images sent by Rosetta also revealed the complex typography of the comet. All the images sent by Rosetta were taken by an onboard scientific imaging system, OSIRIS.

Rosetta was launched by ESA in March 2004 and was reawakened in January 2014. Rosetta mission's aim is to gather details about the prehistoric material that was left over during the birth of the solar system and is most probably present in the comet's nucleus.
