Two articles to be published in the journal “Astronomy & Astrophysics” describe various aspects of a research on the age of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Martin Jutzi and Willy Benz of the University of Bern, Switzerland, together with several colleagues conducted a series of computer simulations to study its two-lobed structure concluding that the collision that gave it its present shape hardly occurred over a billion years ago.
