Today's Webtip: Rosetta and Philae

The European Space Agency is about to land a probe on Comet 67p.

The ESA is about to do something no one has ever done before. Land a probe on the surface of a comet.

The 10 year mission has already delivered more information on comets than any other mission so far, but today they are going to be taking things to the limit as Philae separates from Rosetta to take up a position on the surface of Comet 67p. You can follow events at the ESA mission blog blogs.esa.int

You can also follow things on twitter, where Philae (the probe) and Rosetta are tweeting in a weirdly cute manner.
