Rosetta probe results in Science

On January 23rd a special issue of Science published the intial results from the Rosetta mission to commet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. They also awarded the mission 'Science breakthrough of 2014', see the above video from 3 min 50 seconds. You can view the Rosetta papers that were included here, although only the abstracts unless you or your institution has a subscription to Science. However, there are image galleries for Rosetta and the lander Philae on that page and a PDF of the introductory article here. The image below shows the relative brightness of the comet compared with the earth and the moon.

Introduction

So. Rather than leave everything to Facebook and all the anoyances that entails I have ditched my account and turned my old site into a blog. There are some rather old overviews of my past work, a few random pages on my interests and, by default, whatever random stuff I've felt like posting.
