What he saw Philae; It is undoubtedly the scientific event of the year. Europe's Rosetta spacecraft managed to reach and orbit comet 67/P Churyumov/Gerasimenko last August, and a month ago sent a spacecraft to its surfacedevice, a robotic laboratory to conduct studies and analyzes from the ground and subsurface 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 the delicate businessto him Philae.
