Yep, pretty cool to see it at scale. I didn't realize it was going to "landed on."Churyumov-Gerasimenko is the destination of the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission, launched on 2 March 2004.[9][10][11] The Rosetta spacecraft rendezvoused with the comet on 6 August 2014, with plans to enter orbit after approaching to within 30 km (19 mi) five weeks later.[12][13][14] Rosetta will study the comet and identify a suitable landing site for its lander, Philae; the landing is scheduled for November 2014.
