T he VEGA-2 image of the nuc le us of 1P/Halle y

Modern comet research has begun with:

d =(100-600)µm

Histor ically, this is the first ima ge of contours and structures of a comet nucleus (made here at IKI)
at M arc h 9, 1986; dis ta nce - 8030 k m

Giotto has confirmed t hat comet nuclei are very dark solid bodies with a specific surface structure. About 10% of t he sur face are ,,active" (i.e. outgassing)
