A flare erupting from Comet 67P got caught in photographic form. Rosetta’s camera did the job. The comet is heating up as it nears the sun. The probe Rosetta is chasing it as it gets up close and...
The Comet 67P will be getting nearer to the sun soon. And it has on board its surface, the Philae Lander spacecraft. The origins of life on earth will get explored in a curious manner thanks to this...
The world’s first landing on a comet has managed to send home a rich plethora of information. Among the data is the presence of organic molecules. The Philae Lander planted itself on Comet 67P.It...
The comet which was alighted upon by the spacecraft Philae might well be the home of many an alien microbe. At least that is what the leading astronomers have to say about the whole issue.The comet...
ESA's Rosetta has been monitoring Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko’s activity for over a year, watching how its halo of dust and gas grows as the comet moves closer to the Sun along its orbit.Now a...
Rosetta’s lander Philae has transcended its narcolepsy of sorts. It is rise and shine and smell the java for this German project. For one thing, the signs and blips were caught on screens at the ESA’...
Last November a space probe named Philae landed on a comet as part of the Rosetta Mission of the European Space Agency ESA. Now after months of silence Philae has called home. The Philae lander has...
The Rosetta space probe landed on a comet which shows for the first time ever the visible signs of rudimentary life (building blocks of life). The host comet has a variety of prominent landscape...
Rosetta’s Philae probe is about to make the first ever landing on a comet today. It will make a landing on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The dis-junction of the lander is purported to be at 9:03...
The Rosetta spacecraft launched in 2004 and arrives at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko today, 6 August. It is the first mission in space history to rendezvous with a comet. The idea is to ...
