I thought you might like to see short gif, which shows a view of Comet 67P taken by the Rosetta spacecraft. The foreground streaks are bits of dust and/or ice blowing off the comet while the background shows the stars, which appear to moving downward (caused by the rotation of the spacecraft around the comet). An ESA expert identified the stars as part of Canis Major. What I find particularly intriguing is the cluster that appears at the top and quickly disappears behind a wall. I think it must be M-41. Or is it something else? Best wishes, Joe
