Go Philae

Today's the day ESA is going to put a very small box on a really far away piece of rock:
Watch live as Rosetta's Philae probe is landing on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko to study the origin of comets, the relationship between cometary and interstellar material, and its implications with regard to the origin of the Solar System. :-)

Series of very cute Youtube videos explaining the mission and what's going on:
Fabulous fables and tales of tails
Once upon a time
Preparing for #CometLanding

Next news update expected at 12pm CET.
First photos from the NavCam at 13pm CET.

Astronomy hype = best hype!
Yeah, the live comic is amazing :-D So, Philae is supposed to have landed a few minutes ago, now it's the wait for news to arrive ... :-)
Oh cool, just came home, thanks for the links.

I guess that "main view" is purely by chance... a woman, some older expensive dressed men and a yunger man in sweater... soooo cliché :)
Dynamit,
Architekturkritik, die man tatsächlich sieht!
