NASA. LARGE FORMAT. On September 20, 1969, Ukrainian astrophysicists Klim Churyumovet-Svetlana Gerasimenko from the University of Kiev (Ukraine) discovered an extraordinary and historic close-up view of the famous comet 67P/Churumov-Guerasimenko or "Chouri". It was spectacularly explored by the European Space Agency's "Rosetta" space probe, whose mission culminated in the landing of the "Philae" lander on the comet's surface on November 12, 2014. The name of the "Rosetta" mission is a reference to the Rosetta Stone, an ancient Egyptian stele fragment that contained three versions of the same text, enabling the Frenchman Champollion to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs in the 19th century. Period chromogenic print. Reference on front. Legend on back label. 40 x 50cm with margins.
