The opening slide from perhaps my last dedicated Rosetta talk from February 2017, showing the Rosetta spacecraft dropping the Philae lander towards the surface of a dark and dusty comet. The titles "Rosetta: To catch a comet!" along with my name and the ESA logo, and the date and place of the talk are shown in white.

   Back in the day, I gave around a hundred dedicated talks on the Rosetta mission to Comet 67P/C-G 🛰️☄️

   As far as I can tell, the last was in Thiruvananthapuram in India in Feb 2017, although I included Rosetta material in many wider talks for years after 🇮🇳

   But it's now time to dust that material off as we near the tenth anniversary of Philae's landing on the comet: I've been asked to give several talks this autumn looking back to those days.

   Still mind-blowing 🙀
