Hi all, I got home just after 7 and spent an hour glued to the Discovery channel watching about how the Rosettta mission successfully landed a probe on a comet today! amazing stuff! The probe (called Philae) was launched 10 years ago by the European Space Agency (ESA)- before some of you were born- and recently joined the comet's orbit. Then today it actually landed on the comet and began sending data back to earth- so exciting :) It shows us how perseverance and teamwork (by scientists and engineers) led to success.
Ask your parents if you can find out more about the mission- I've added some links below,
Mrs. Mace.
