OSIRIS observations of sunset jets in Ma’at. a)–c) Nucleus of 67P observed at UTC 2015-04-22 15:28:25, 2015-04-25 17:50:48, and 2015-04-27 19:19:03, respectively. The dotted line in yellow indicates the solar ground track during the corresponding rotation cycle, and the red dot indicates the subsolar point at the time of observation. The direction of motion of the subsolar point on the nucleus is indicated by the yellow arrow. The subsolar longitude in the body-fixed frame is 310 °, 315 °, and 323 ° for the three observations, respectively. The annotated axes, the 0 ° and 180 ° longitudes, the equator, and the North/South Poles are as indicated in Fig. 1. d)–f) Contrast-stretched views of a)–c), revealing dust jets against dark background. g)–i) Enlarged views of the region outlined by red rectangles in d)–f), showing individually distinguishable sunset jets as well as their source area. (Detailed information of all images used in this work is given in Table 1).
