An article published in the journal “Nature Astronomy” reports a series of measurements of the temperature of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko’s nucleus obtained thanks to ESA’s Rosetta space probe’s VIRTIS instrument. A team of researchers led by Federico Tosi of the National Institute of Astrophysics’ Space Astrophysics and Planetology Institute in Rome, Italy, used the infrared images captured by VIRTIS to generate thermal maps from which they obtained the temperatures reconstructing the daily and seasonal variations but also the ones related to its morphological characteristics and the chemical-physical characteristics of the top surface layer.
