The point on the ground beneath Rosetta at closest approach (2009-11-13 07:45:40 UTC), over the Indian Ocean just off the south coast of Java, computed from JPL Horizons' reconstructed trajectory (sub-observer point, geodetic; distance 8,858 km from Earth's centre). Acedo (2017) tabulates the same perigee's geocentric latitude.
