Comet presents the amazing story of the Rosetta space probe and its interstellar voyage to the comet Tchoury. Its mission - to find clues to the origins of our solar system and the emergence of life on Earth. Following a ten-year voyage and a journey spanning millions of kilometres through our Solar System, the Rosetta entered the comet's orbit. Its lander, Philae - a miniature science laboratory - landed directly on Tchoury's surface and was able to take the photographs presented here. This triumph of scientific endeavour brought back a raft of incredible new photographs, the best of which are featured here. The book is built around the various phases in Rosetta's journey: leaving Earth, breaching its atmosphere and watching the lights of home recede; skirting the Moon and coming close to Mars; plunging into the cosmos' starry void and approaching the comet; and, finally, landing on Tchoury. The photographs are accompanied by a text that reflects on the objectives of the mission and the accomplishment of such a technological feat for humanity. Detailed captions provide the reader with accessible scientific information, enabling them to get to the heart of the subject.
Drama written and directed by Oliver Assayas starring Juliette Binoche. In the middle of a divorce, veteran actress Maria Enders (Binoche) is asked to star in a new adaptation of 'Maloja Snake' by Wilhelm Melchior, the play that launched her career two decades earlier. This time, however, Maria is not asked to reprise the role that she portrayed when she was 16, and instead is required to play middle-aged businesswoman Helena who is manipulated and eventually driven to suicide by her young assistant. To prepare for the role, Maria departs for Sils Maria, a remote region of the Alps, with her devoted assistant Valentine (Kristen Stewart). Aided by Valentine, Maria investigates the young and reckless American actress (Chloë Grace Moretz) who has been chosen to interpret the role of her character's assistant. As Maria then begins to notice more of herself in the youthful actress, she finds herself confronting some of the demons that come with her profession...
