As the 3-km wide comet moves closer to the Sun, heat causes the nucleus to expel gas and dust. The Rosetta spacecraft arrived at the comet's craggily double nucleus last July and now is co-orbiting the Sun with the giant dark iceberg. Recent analysis of data beamed back to Earth from the robotic Rosetta spacecraft has shown that water being expelled by 67P has a significant difference with water on Earth, indicating that Earth's water could not have originated from ancient collisions with comets like 67P
This picture shows how massive the sun is compared to Earth. Over a  million Earth's could fit inside the Sun, it is just crazy and blows my mind every time i think about it.

It is amazing someone was able to capture this moment, i find it even more impressive this person was able to get to the area in such harsh conditions. Here we have the milky-way above an erupting volcano, most-likely one of the most rarest setting for an astronomer to look at.
