anything is possible

next time somebody squeaks, “sorry, that’s impossbile!” just point them to this feat some brains pulled off. it’s a fly by of a tiny asteroid. the pictures have great detail. on top of that there were enough of them to make a movie of the flyby. it’s all pretty incredible. need perspective to the scale of the achievement? imagine dispatching a camera to photograph a specific grain of sand 10 miles away. that’s hard right? more from Rosetta.
