Rosetta's comet is a contact binary!

Leaked information making big news across facebook today.

The comet, Churyumov-Gerasimenko is a contact binary!
This is the comet that Rosetta is heading to and will orbit in August and land in November. Very exciting news.

Landing could be more difficult as this form restricts potential landing zones, the article says.

E.S.A. will be releasing news of this in the next couple of days.

P.S. Hi guys, it's been a while since I've posted here.
