. Full-frame NAVCAM image taken August 3, 2014, from a distance of about 185 miles (300 kilometers) from Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The image has been processed using an interpolation technique the factor for scaling up and interpolation is 2. The resolution has therefore been increased from 1024 x 1024 pixels to 2048 x 2048 pixels. The Sun is toward the bottom of the image in this orientation. ESA/Rosetta/NAVCAM
