In this picture you
are seeing the Rosetta mission landing safely on the comet. On the left it
appears Philaes feet are on the surface. Philae bounced twice before settling and
returning images from the surface. The surface panorama suggests the landers has
come to rest titled and near a wall. The solar panels on it are getting less
illumination than hoped. The instrument are working as planned and the data is
being relays during communication time periods. They can only do this when the
Spacecraft is above the landers new Horizon.
