FAREWELL ROSETTA

Today's a sad day: Rosetta mission is over.

Here its very last pic.

Thanks and be well, dear Rosetta, science at its best.

SO LONG, PHILAE!

Goodbye Philae! by PiPs, Bernards & by @sciencemug

Today's the day when, to save its power [(which is lower and lower given it's generated by solar pannels and the Sun is 520 million km (and going) away now)], European Space Agency (ESA) spacecraft Rosetta (the piece of human immagination, technology, intelligence, hard work and ambition which for ten years (2004-2014) chased, and finally, on 6 August 2014, reached Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko) is switching off the tool used to communicate with its lander Philae, which is on the comet and silent since last summer (9 July 2015).

Goodbye, lander-pal Philae, enjoy your slumber and your view.

And thanks for all the fish... No, sorry... For all the amazing science and your epic landing!

ONE YEAR WITH A COMET!
