Daz Type-R Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Does the surname ring a bell? Tweet from ESA in the last hour..... We are saddened to learn of the death of Klim Churyumov, who discovered Rosetta’s comet 67P with Svetlana Gerasimenko At least he got to see all the science that was done.

BAZ Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 How amazing would it have been to not only discover a comet, but watch the Rosetta mission to it. It seems a shame that he has passed only a few weeks after the mission ended, maybe that was what was keeping him going. RIP Klim Churyumov.

Brantuk Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Not many big scientists get to see the end results of their lifetime of labours. KC was one of the lucky ones who did I guess. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
