Development of the meteoroid streams of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko between 1986 and 2099. Colors are particles released during different apparitions (green particles are oldest, blue particles are youngest). We also show the orbits of eight planets and the comet. We see evidence of close encounters with Jupiter that disperse particles and warp the stream. In 2069 the tail end of the red streams behind the comet display gaps that are indicative of Mars’ near passage through the stream in January 2062 (Vaubaillon & Colas 2005). These are stills from a video of the whole stream from 1959 to 2100 that can be viewed at https://vimeo.com/128363607; and in the online edition of the journal.
