18th May 2014 - On the tail of a comet - Sydney Morning Herald

Nicky Phillips, Science Editor for the Sydney Morning Herald, has a long
article today on the rendezvous of Rosetta with 67P/Churyumov Gerasimenko,
due to take place next week.

The article includes an impressive animation which shows the very
complex orbital path, including multiple gravitational slingshots with
Earth and Mars, in getting there.
