This page describes an image Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Image caption:
Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko's nucleus is a "dirty snowball" made of a mixture of frozen materials and dust. It is shaped like two large lobes: one 4.1 km × 3.3 km × 1.8 km, the other 2.6 km × 2.3 km × 1.8 km. These lobes are connected by a small bridge. When a cometary nucleus such as this nears the Sun its frozen, icy material is heated, turning into gas. This, combined with the embedded dust, provide the material for the comet's characteristic coma and tail.

Image caption: ধূমকেতু ৬৭পি/চুর্যমভ -গেরসিমেনক-এর নিউক্লিয়াস হিমায়িত পদার্থ এবং ধুলোর মিশ্রণে তৈরি একটি "ডার্টি স্নোবল"। এটি দুটি বড় লোবের মতো আকৃতির: একটি ৪.১ কিমি × ৩.৩ কিমি × ১.৮ কিমি, অন্যটি ২.৬ কিমি × ২.৩ কিমি × ১.৮ কিমি। এই লবগুলি একটি ছোট সেতু দ্বারা সংযুক্ত। যখন এর মতো ধূমকেতুর নিউক্লিয়াস সূর্যের কাছাকাছি আসে তখন তার হিমায়িত, বরফযুক্ত উপাদান উত্তপ্ত হয়, গ্যাসে পরিণত হয়। এটি, এমবেডেড ধুলোর সাথে মিলিত, ধূমকেতুর বৈশিষ্ট্যযুক্ত কোমা এবং লেজের জন্য উপাদান সরবরাহ করে।

Image caption: Le noyau de la comète 67P/Tchourioumov-Guérassimenko (ou 67P/Чурюмова — Герасименко en Russe) est une "boule de neige sale" composée d'un mélange de glaces et de poussières. Il a la forme de deux grands lobes : l'un de 4,1 km × 3,3 km × 1,8 km, l'autre de 2,6 km × 2,3 km × 1,8 km. Ces lobes sont reliés par un petit pont. Lorsqu'un noyau cométaire tel que celui-ci s'approche du Soleil, sa matière gelée et glacée est chauffée et se transforme en gaz. Ce gaz, combiné à la poussière qui s'y trouve, constitue la matière de la coma et de la queue, qui sont caractéristiques de la comète.

Image caption: Il nucleo della cometa 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko è una "palla di neve sporca" composta da una miscela di materiali ghiacciati e polvere. Ha la forma di due grandi lobi: uno di 4,1 km × 3,3 km × 1,8 km, l'altro di 2,6 km × 2,3 km × 1,8 km. Questi lobi sono collegati da un piccolo ponte. Quando un nucleo cometario come questo si avvicina al Sole, il suo materiale ghiacciato si riscalda, trasformandosi in gas. Questo, insieme alla polvere incorporata, fornisce il materiale per la chioma e la coda, caratteristiche della cometa.

Image caption: 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko 彗星的彗核是一个由冰冻物质和尘埃混合而成的 "脏雪球"。它的形状像两个大耳叶：一个体积为4.1 千米 × 3.3 千米 × 1.8 千米，另一个为 2.6 千米 × 2.3 千米 × 1.8 千米。这些耳叶由一座小桥连接在一起。当这样的彗星核接近太阳时，它的冰冻物质会被加热，变成气体。这些气体与内部的尘埃共同组成了彗星特有的彗发和彗尾。
