The HN title is wrong. This was not taken "on the surface", but from a 13-14 km orbit, according to source ESA data (click on a picture to see its data): https://imagearchives.esac.esa.int/index.php?/category/410/s... Each picture is a 12.5-second exposure. Therefore this 25 fps video is sped up 312.5×
14km and 312.5x speed up makes it quite surreal if not misleading.

JS is poorly understood in comparison This might be the most hilariously ridiculous true statement I've ever heard.
In javascript: x == x _ is true. Good. x == !x _ is also true. Oops? And guess what: Array(3)==",," _ is also true. But NaN == NaN _ is false. Math.max()>Math.min() _ is also false! but then again Math.max() Madness, I tell you!
>> Ross James Walker @rossjwalker96: Is rosetta moving on the surface here? Can't work out how the perspective seems to move to the right?
> Massimo @Rainmaker1973: It's moving, but these images were captured from 13 kilometres away. Rosetta flew even closer during its mission before landing on the surface in September 2016
Unfortunately Twitter butchers video quality. I remade both landru79's videos from scratch using original ESA 2048x2048 image sequence (plus I added a bit of motion interpolation): http://alteredqualia.com/tmp/rosetta/rosetta.webm [50MB] http://alteredqualia.com/tmp/rosetta/rosetta_stars.mp4 [28MB] ----- Edit: in case my server doesn't hold up, here are video mirrors on Streamable: https://streamable.com/w2wgj https:…
Dear NASA - Science is amazing. Don't forget to make it relatable by doing work like this! People love to see great images, so you gotta curate them and highlight the stunning stuff like this!
edit: or are you pointing out that NASA should do this?

Again, what timeframe am I looking at here? To truly grasp the awesomeness of this video I want to know is it 1 month of composite images or 1 to 1 video? Anyone?

It's true. Some of the greatest minds have spent 20 fruitless years trying to discover a unified theory of object fields and elementary values in JavaScript.
Has everyone given up on string theory, or is there still hope another few hundred genius-years will bring progress?
I just finished reading Arthur C. Clarke's 2061 about people landing on Halley's Comet, so this video is a timely illustration of what they might have seen. :)
