Peeking Out the Window
Part of the Rosetta spacecraft is silhouetted against the orange surface of Mars in this February 25 image. Rosetta flew just 160 miles (250 km) above Mars to get a gravitational boost toward its final target, a comet. This view is from a small lander that will touch down on the comet. The large rectangular structure is a solar panel. [CIVA/Philae/ESA Rosetta]
