Once in space, the Comet Interceptor will travel to the Sun-Earth Lagrange point L2 (just like Ariel), meaning 932,000 miles ...

China's Tianwen-2 probe has commenced its decade-long deep space mission, capturing a stunning image of Earth and the Moon ...

The Rosetta spacecraft — which is currently orbiting Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko — will listen for Philae's signals from today (March 12) through March 20.

Data from Southwest Research Institute-led instruments aboard ESA's Rosetta spacecraft have helped reveal auroral emissions in the far ultraviolet around a comet for the first time.

Rosetta was the first spacecraft to orbit a comet and over the course of its 12 year mission, the craft captured nearly 100,000 images from space using both a narrow and wide angle camera.

The European Space Agency has completed the Rosetta image archive and you can download all of it for free.

Rosetta wasn’t the first Earth robot to visit a comet, but it broke ground by orbiting one. The spacecraft housed 11 scientific instruments to examine the chemistry and physical makeup of the comet.

Europe's comet-chasing space probe Rosetta performed its final task Friday, crashing onto the alien world it's been following.

It’s over. After orbiting the duck-shaped comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko for 786 days, the Rosetta spacecraft has landed softly on its surface and turned off its instruments for good.

The Rosetta mission comes to an end as spacecraft touches down on surface of comet 67P/ Churyumov–Gerasimenko.

The Rosetta space probe has crash-landed on the surface of a distant comet, ending a remarkable 12-year mission that made a series of breakthrough discoveries.
