I second that sentiment - nice job Emily. It's very useful to see these bodies at the same scale - it underlines the point that they really are all unique worlds in their own right.
The image reminds me of another similar, excellent montage put together by Exploitcorporations of the smaller Saturnian moons and posted here I can't wait to see how Steins (and later, Lutetia Ceres and Vesta) fit into the mix. Great times! |

Ahh - good stuff - I thought the last Earth flyby was a nice job by the blog team.

This Coverage of Rosetta Steins fly-by will probably be to early for me but if anyone else is interested here is the information. -
Sat, Sep 06, 2008 | 04:00 - 11:20 GMT | 06:00 - 13:20 CET| 05:00 - 12:20 BST WEB Page Coverage of Rosetta Steins fly-by. ESA TV Live The feed at 04:00 GMT will feature key moments of this exceptional flyby including the very first reactions of spacecraft controllers and scientists at ESA's Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany, as the very first data and pictures arrive throughout the night between 5 and 6 September. An additional TV feed may be made at 08:00 GMT on 6 September - please watch for announcements. The first batch of processed images and preliminary results will be presented at a press conference taking place at ESOC starting at 10:00 GMT / 12:00 CEST on 6 September (available through web and TV streaming). David Southwood, ESA Director of Science and Robotic Exploration, Gaele Winters, ESA Director of Operations and Infrastructure, and the key scientists and experts for the Rosetta mission, will provide the first insights into the outcome of this historic fly-by and link them to the bigger picture of space debris monitoring at ESA.

Closest approach now just over 1 hr 15 minutes away. Seems that the C/A time has changed to 20:38:14 SCET/CEST which is about 30 secs after what I have in my simulation (too late to change now). Happy blogging at http://webservices.esa.int/blog/blog/5/
EDIT: Nice to see an increased traffic on the realtime simulation. Shows there is a good interest in this mission. Now let's see whether the Rosetta@Steins peak exceeds the Cassini@Enceladus peak from last month. -------------------- |

QUOTE We just had a quick chat with Spacecraft Operations Manager (SOM) Andrea Accomazzo here in the Rosetta DCR. He says everything is looking nominal, and some of the final fly-by commands are being uploaded now. -- Daniel COMMAND 0001: "remove lens cap " -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Unnecessary full inline quote removed - mod.
The fly- by is occuring in another 22 minutes or so and my understanding is that press conf etc will be in another 3h30 minutes approx. Either you're wrong or I am regarding your time line Thank you to confirm or not my take -------------------- |

So, no images yet. I take it ESA is hiding behind the old "the flyby hasn't happened yet, so there are no closeup images yet" excuse. I'm not buying....
Sorry Ustrax, I had to do that just for you -------------------- |
