ROSETTA’S MIDNIGHT BARGE: Crossing the Comet’s Underworld

by Siobhan Logan

Prepare to face a comet’s awakening ‘dragon’ alongside gods, monsters and a mummified king. For twelve years, the European Space Agency’s ROSETTA spacecraft chased comet 67P across the solar system to unlock the secrets of its birth. Siobhan Logan reimagines that exhilarating mission in a new collection of poetry and prose.

Inspired by photos of the comet’s rocky wilderness, Logan blends ancient mythology and modern space adventure in an Egyptian Book of Hours. The twenty-four poems or ‘spells’ steer us through Rosetta’s voyage while her Underworld Guidebook unpacks the mission’s mythology and science.
