Video: Rosetta's second year at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

Rosetta describes the exciting discoveries she made during her second year at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, after the comet made its closest approach to the Sun along its orbit.

She also tells us about her efforts to contact Philae, and starts counting down to her own mission finale.
