  Episode 27, Comet 67P, and a brush penAug 15, 2015 3:14 AM PDT | url
 
Added 2 new A* pages:Episode 27 is here! I'll be wrapping episode 26 up into e-book form over the weekend; supporters of the A* Patreon campaign at the qualifying support levels will get their complementary download link to the e-book emailed to them at the beginning of next month, while other folks will be able to buy it at any time (once I get it added, so by Monday, probably) through the episodes & e-books page.

Comet 67P has reached perihelion, aka its closest approach to the Sun, between the orbital radii of Earth and Mars. While still intact, the orbiting Rosetta probe has spotted intense gas jets shooting out of the warming comet, and even snapped a shot of a chunk of the comet splitting off. Although it is now receding from the Sun, the heat it flew through is still building in its effects on the comet, so the turmoil will get a bit more intense. Will the loose ball of icy chunks survive? And what about the little Philae lander on its surface, which hasn't been heard from since a brief contact two months ago? : o
