Looks like a flashlight to me:

That photo is staged. What it really is is a dash cam view of a motorcycle coming at you on a rainy misty night on a two lane county road.

Very cool pictures.

This November, Rosetta will deploy a small probe that, if successful, will land on the comet — the first time we've ever made contact with a space rock (intentionally).

Who is "we"?

Define "space rock".

The US NEAR Shoemaker mission ended by intentionally landing on the tumbling asteroid it had been studying.

The Japanese Hayabusa mission was able to snag some dust off the surface of an asteroid.

I'm sure the Rosetta people learned from both NEAR Shoemaker and Hayabusa, since neither went exactly as planned.

So get some Comet, and vomit, today.

Thanks blam - cool pictures... I’m surprised they were expecting moisture... that’s always felt like myth...

The moon landing was a big yawn, too.

Will be an outstanding technical accomplishment to land on that comet. Hope the ESA can pull it off.
