"Remember Rosetta? That comet-chasing European Space Agency (ESA) probe that deployed (and accidentally bounced) its lander Philae on the surface of Comet 67P? This GIF is made up of images Rosetta beamed back to Earth, which have been freely available online for a while. But it took Twitter user landru79 processing and assembling them into this short, looped clip to reveal the drama they contained."

The second gif with the stars fixed in place is even cooler.

Great clip! I had no idea the lander moved at all after crashing (was it crawling a few feet?)... or that we got clear images back after the crash. That means there should be images that could also be assembled of its bouncing trip across the comet.
