Rosetta's Comet Really "Blows Up" in Latest Images
在最新的圖像們裡,羅塞塔的彗星真的"炸毀、爆炸"了

First off: no, comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is not about to explode
or disintegrate. But as it steadily gets nearer to the Sun the comet's jets
are getting more and more active and they're putting on quite a show for the
orbiting Rosetta spacecraft! Click the image for a jeterrific hi-res version.
The images above were captured by Rosetta's NavCam on Jan. 31 and Feb. 3
from a distance of about 28 km (17 miles). Each is a mosaic of four separate
NavCam acquisitions and they have been adjusted and tinted in Photoshop by
yours truly to further enhance the jets' visibility. (You can view the
original image mosaics and source frames here and here.)
These dramatic views are just a hint at what's in store; 67P's activity
will only be increasing in the coming weeks and months and, this weekend,
Rosetta will be swooping down for an extreme close pass over its surface!
This Saturday, Feb. 14, Rosetta will be performing a very close pass of
the comet's nucleus, soaring over the Imhotep region at an altitude of only
6 km (3.7 miles) at 12:41 UTC. This will allow the spacecraft to closely
image the comet's surface, as well as investigate the behavior of its jets
and how they interact with its developing coma.
再過3天,這個禮拜六，2月14日12:41 UTC的時候，
羅塞塔號將要表演很靠近地通過彗星核心(/中心)
在印和闐地區的上面僅6公里處翱翔.這將允許太空船
很近地替這彗星的表面照相,以及調查其噴射(/噴出物)的行為
以及它們如何和它的正在發展中的"昏迷"交互作用。
"The upcoming close flyby will allow unique scientific observations,
providing us with high-resolution measurements of the surface over a range
of wavelengths and giving us the opportunity to sample - taste or sniff -
the very innermost parts of the comet's atmosphere," said Rosetta project
scientist Matt Taylor.

animation of how it will be executed below.

(2) coma怎麼翻譯呀?
(3) 很神奇喔,你有看過那彗星(會移動)的雲嗎? 有大開眼界嗎?
