Rosetta flyby generates gorgeous pic of Earth

The European Rosetta mission, which will eventually (and that's a long time to 2014) rendesvous with a comet and land on it, just flew by Earth last week. It took a beautiful picture of the limb on its way by.

Good luck. I think it's going to pass by a second asteroid on its way to the comet. Thinking I should check rather than guess, I did: ROSETTA, and yes it will, next year.
