Rosetta Space Probe's Last Images Were of its Own Grave, ESA Footage Shows

The European Space Agency released a video on June 21 showing the final images recorded by the Rosetta Probe as it crash-landed onto the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in September 2016, ending its 10-year mission.

The ESA said of Rosetta’s last recordings: “As it moved closer towards the surface it scanned across an ancient pit and sent back images showing what would become its final resting place.” Credit: ESA via Storyful
