Comet colours would be extremely bland and boring to a human eye (and to the regular cameras we use on Earth) - the Sun is far, no atmosphere to have meaningful shades of grey, and the material they are made of is not really vibrant at all. The budget is better spent on instuments and the cameras that capture images in the invisible spectrum (which could be always false-colorized into colorful "photos" of galaxies and nebulae we are all used to see)
This one is 11700 yo and 900 meters in diameter, but TIL that people are also fond of looking for fresh (<10k yo) craters [1] as small as 24 metres [2].

This is related to what Robert Pirsig in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance calls the romantic (subjective, "artistic") and the classical (objective, "scientific") understanding. He, too, points that the ideal is to enjoy both. Not because there are both useful and have their place and time, but because this is a false dichotomy to begin with and, ideally, one should refrain from defining the splitting and abandon both concepts (after all, the Zen in the title is there for a reason).
