Uploader comment: This image focuses on the transitional region between the large lobe on Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (left) through the smooth neck region (centre) and towards the small lobe (right). Many different surface features can be found in this region, including a folded feature (bottom left), surface ripples (centre) and a fracture (centre right).
