How the rebel city would look if comet 67P bedded down for a visit

A photoshopped image of the massive comet 67P plonked on Cork City has gone viral.

Photographer Darren Forde created the image at his home in Rochestown as scientists celebrated the historic landing of the Philae probe on the comet’s surface, some half a billion kilometres away.

Earlier this year, the European Space Agency (ESA) created images of the comet superimposed over different European cities to give people a sense of the vast scale of it.
