A greyscale image of the rugged and cratered Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko floating against the blackness of space. The main lobe is to the rear and left, with the smaller lobe to the right. The large crater on the smaller lobe is in shadow and owes some similarity to the Klingon battleships first seen in the original Star Trek series. Well, I think so, at least.
