What he saw Philae; It is undoubtedly the scientific event of the year. The European ship Rosetta managed to reach and get into orbit around the 67 / P Tsouriomov / Gerasimenos comet last August, and a month ago it sent a space device, a robotic lab to study and analyze the ground and the subsoil of the space rock.
The Philae spacecraft venture has provoked global interest and the public's interest turned for a few days to what happened 511 a million miles away from the Earth.
Although the Philae failed to make a smooth landing on the comet – since due to the lack of gravitys the device bounced around until it ended up in a spot among rocks where there wasn't enough light to function as it was normally programmed - it managed to carry out many important tasks and analyzes before it finally stopped working.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has released a series of photos taken by Rosetta's camera during its duration of his delicate business Philae.
