Dunes on a comet


Not something I would have expected to see.

Embedded image cropped from the original for emphasis of the dunes feature. These were photographed on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by the Rosetta spacecraft.

More photos here.

    Maybe it was blown that way by the solar wind. Just a wild guess.

    A lot can be said for image quality.
