Rosetta update: Two close flybys of an increasingly active comet

In the two months since I last checked up on the Rosetta mission, the comet
has heated up, displaying more and more jet activity. Rosetta completed
very close flybys on February 14 and March 28, taking amazing photos. But
comet dust is making navigation difficult, so the mission is now keeping a
respectful distance from the comet and replanning its future path.
