ESA Rosetta Spacecraft now in orbit around a comet - eventually to land on it!
#1
After a ten year journey, history and science have been made! Amazing photos coming in now...this is what the Solar System looked like about 5 Billion years ago...lots of blobs like this zooming around that mostly collided and formed planets and moons, etc....but some are still around from the 'get go' and this is one....have a look! Later, in a few months, Rosetta will attempt to land on the comet and do a variety of tests. Some astronomers believe the water on Earth came from comets; others believe life itself may have.....we may soon know. http://sci.esa.int/where_is_rosetta/
