Mysterious Object On Comet 67P?
Comets
Contrary to what many people think, comets are not rare. According to the European Space Agency(ESA), there are thought to be so many comets, astronomers can't count them all. So, when a comet enters our solar system, you wouldn't expect space agencies to get too excited. Well, that changed when the ESA sent a spacecraft to intercept comet 67P in 2014. What was the reason for this mission?
Unusual Shape
As far as size goes, comet 67P is pretty average. However, it's shape is far from average. Typically comets have a potato-like shape. Comet 67P certainly doesn't fit this mold. In fact, from certain angles, the comet looks like something the crew of the Enterprise might encounter. Was this the reason for landing a probe on 67P's nucleus?

Photos
There are many photos all over the internet showing unusual looking objects on the surface of comet 67P. In this article I'm going to highlight what I think is one of the best. I will link the original esa photo at the end. You can download it and check it out for yourself. The following images are stills from my youtube video, which I will also link below.
The star of these photos is this triangular object. Notice the circular, porthole-like pattern along the side. Also notice the shadow underneath. This object is not touching the ground. What's holding it up? The only noticeable thing is under it's left wing. A thing that almost looks like a big bomb. I know, it's just my brain forming a recognizable image. But it is in the same spot our aircraft have their bombs attached.
In this photo I inverted the colors. I created a negative. It really shows how unique this object is. It clearly sticks out among the surrounding environment. So, is this triangle native to comet 67P? If it was, why doesn't it look like the rest of the surface? If it wasn't, why is it still in one piece? It would have hit the surface at a high speed. It would have broken up upon impact. Instead it appears to be hovering above the surface.
Here we zoom in a little. That's an interesting marking on top. The top of this object is pretty clean except this one area. It's not a shadow. There is nothing to cast one. Again, download the picture and see for yourself. I also welcome your comments and opinions.
