Context map for active regions on comet 67P
Context map for active regions on comet 67P Eighteen pits have been identified in high-resolution OSIRIS images of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko’s northern hemisphere. The pits are named after the region they are found in, and some of them are active. The context image was taken on August 3, 2014 by the narrow-angle camera from a distance of 285 km; the image resolution is 5.3 m/pixel.
