There are no obvious places on the nuclei of comets from which the jets that create comet tails emanate. Last year, though, ESA&#8217;s Rosetta spacecraft not only imaged a jet emerging from Comet 67P\/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, but flew right through it. Featured is a telling picture showing a bright plume emerging from a small circular dip bounded on one side by a 10-meter high wall. Analyses of Rosetta data shows that the jet was composed of both dust and water-ice. The mundane terrain indicates that something likely happened far under the porous surface to create the plume. This image was taken last July, about two months before Rosetta&#8217;s mission ended with a controlled impact onto Comet 67P&#8217;s surface. via NASA <a href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/2j1W7O4\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where do comet tails come from?
