Rosetta Image Scale (10.2014)

						The European Space Agency's (ESA) Rosetta took a photo of Comet 67P about 9.8 km away in October 2014. However, it's difficult to put the image into perspective without a frame of reference that we can understand. So, using Google Maps and a scale of where 1 pixel = 98 cm, I put together a variety of appropriately scaled images to help us. More information about the photo can be found on the ESA's blog here.

						I used the following references:

Lower Manhattan

One World Trade Center

Eiffel Tower

A full neighborhood block

A high school

A football and baseball field

A full-sized airplane

						Edited using Adobe Photoshop.

Bonus image of another scaled Rosetta image taken in January 2015. Used Google Maps and a scale of 1 pixel = 15 cm. I used the Statue of Liberty and a full-sized airplane. More information about this photo can be found here.
