These are the first images from Comet‘s surface, sent by Philae lander. The probe is sending data, but ESA isn’t sure where it landed or how long it’ll survive.
Above: Now that I’m safely on the ground, here is what my new home #67P looks like from where I am. #CometLanding
It’s dark in space, especially at the comet’s location about 280 million miles from the sun.
A stunning image of my new home taken by ROLIS during #CometLanding yesterday, when I was just 40 m from #67P
The view is absolutely breathtaking ESA_Rosetta! Unlike anything I’ve ever seen #CometLanding
