When you’re a state of the art spacecraft looking to make a historic landing on a moving comet, what should be your first priority? Why, snapping a selfie, of course. At least, that’s the case for Rosetta’s lander Philae, which snapped a pic that included both the lander and the comet on Sunday night. At the time of the photo, the craft was about 50 kilometers from the comet.

The photo was taken with CIVA, the Comet Infrared and Visible Analyser. It’s actually composed of seven “micro-cameras” that will be used to take a 360 degree panoramic image of the comet (67P/C-G) at visible wavelengths once it lands. NASA used two different images with different exposure times to create the tweeted product.

The selfie was part of the instrument preparations for Philae, which will attempt to be the first man-made object to track down and land on a moving comet. While the going is slow, things appear to be moving along: The exact landing location is expected to be announced on September 15, just four days away.
