One remarkable image taken by the "mothership" Rosetta shows Philae as a tiny speck, headed for history.
Where did Philae actually touch down? Images from the OSIRIS camera on Rosetta show the area surrounding original target site (highlighted in red)
This picture was taken by the lander itself just 40m from its bumpy touchdown
Space Ping!.........................
Even if they don’t get more data this mission was a pretty good first step. Eventually we can mine asteroids and comets.
At least ESA staff had a good time cheering and hugging one another. That’s worth something.
BTW I just want to be the first to say something stupid about NASA and muslim outreach.
You Euros lost it.
You Euros can go save it.
