Hey Citizens!  Read on to find out more about the possible breakup of comet 67P!

On The Relay, we will occasionally be bringing you interesting space news as well as our Star Citizen content.  The first of such news is today!

Recently the Rosetta spacecraft has captured several images of the 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko comet which show that the comet is developing a large fissure in its neck.  It is possible that this could be a sign that the comet will break up soon.  If this occurs, having a spacecraft in orbit capturing this event would be a dream come true for many astronomers and other scientists.
