Thanks @brianpgordon - Check out this gif of the orbital maneuvers required for Rosetta to reach its destination: https://i.imgur.com/TUkKuhf.gif

It looks like @Philae2014 made a fairly gentle touch down on #67P based on amount of landing gear damping #CometLanding



or straight from the ESA http://rosetta.esa.int/?landing


Or the xkcd version https://xkcd.com/1446/ (see older frames at http://xkcd1446.org/, the first few are blank so start around #16)


What is this? What's the point?


It's a series of over 100 frames that are being drawn and uploaded live before and during the probe launch. It illustrates the position and status of the probe. (Edit: it's still updating)

The official one was struggling hard when I tried. The BBC is putting out the same stream, with english translations when appropriate: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/science-environment-29985988


The NASA TV iPad app works too.


any link to footage of the actual landing?
