I find it amazing how we've gone from a dim blur on a photographic plate (which was found by accident when trying to photograph a different comet entirely) to what we see now. I also find it fascinating to think how close we were to landing on an entirely different comet if the original launch window had been hit. There's just so much out there. What was on that other comet (46P/Wirtanen) that we might never get to see?
