The European Space Agency’s Rosetta spacecraft, along with its lander module Philae, was used to perform a detailed study of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (67P). On August 6, 2014, the spacecraft reached the comet and eventually started to orbit the comet. On September 30, 2016, the Rosetta spacecraft ended its mission by hard-landing on the comet in its Ma’at region. However, before that time, it captured over 400,000 images.

In 2017, the European Space Agency released over 400,000 images from Rosetta’s comet mission to the public, and using this material, Motion Designer Christian Stangl and Composer Wolfgang Stangl worked together to create this breathtaking short film, title “The Comet”. In case you were wondering, the probe was named after the Rosetta Stone, based on the stone slab found in 1799 near Rosetta bearing parallel inscriptions in Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphic, and demotic characters.
