Comet 67p facts
While investigating facts about Comet 67p, I found out little known, but curios details like:
The Rosetta spacecraft, while studying comet 67P, discovered electrons cause the rapid breakup of water and carbon dioxide molecules erupting from the surface, not photons (light) as previously thought.
The payload of the Rosetta Lander on Comet 67P includes a "backup" archive of printed works in 2,300 human languages etched onto a nickel disc.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 3 of the best facts about Comet 67p I managed to collect.

The Rosetta probe found weather on Comet 67P. A patch of ice turns into a cloud when facing the sun.
