A decade ago , scientists at the European Space Agency built a comet-chasing spacecraft named after the Rosetta Stone .
The mission's goal was to study an otherwise-unremarkable comet called Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko .
Rosetta 's data contained precious information about how the cosmic fossil — and the solar system — took shape billions of years ago .
Rosetta spacecraft crashed into Comet 67P on Sept. 30, 2016 , as intended, in an epic mission finale.
The probe sent home increasingly close-up images of the comet (and heartbreaking goodbye tweets) The probe provided scientists with enough data to scout for years .
In 2021 , comet 67P will make its closest approach to Earth in 200 years .
