Description

Rosetta’s lander Philae is safely on the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, as these first two CIVA images confirm. One of the lander’s three feet can be seen in the foreground. The image is a two-image mosaic. The full panoramic from CIVA will be delivered in this afternoon’s press briefing at 13:00 GMT/14:00 CET.

I just saw Interstellar on 70mm IMAX.

Holy hell.

If you're reading this, go see it, Hubski.

Edit: So as not to make this a completely worthless comment, the next exciting event will be the arrival of New Horizons at Pluto in July of 2015. Then we'll have Juno arriving at Jupiter in the summer of 2016.
