APOD 2.3

Welcome to a Comet: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap141114.html


The Rosetta Mission lander is safely on a comet,C67/P Churyumov-Gerasimenko. In the bottom left, one of Philae's feet can be seen. A surface panorama suggest that the lander is slightly tilted and near a shadowing wall, with the lander's solar panels receiving less light than hoped for. I love this photo cause it's really cool that we have successfully put a lander on a comet and are able to explore it through the images.
