Original Note:
Important Context. Dots are stars in background, moving as the spacecraft is orbiting. Its not "snow". Streaks are cosmic rays hitting the camera sensor, not "snow". Very few are actual dust/ice particles. The gif is just handful frames taken over 25 mins, so Hugely sped up. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2167224-amazing-gif-shows-dust-and-cosmic-rays-raining-down-on-comet-67p/ https://www.livescience.com/62394-comet-snow-rosetta-twitter.html
