The ESA( European Space Agency in Darmstadt, Germany) sent a space probe, the Philae probe by spacecraft, the spacecraft is called Rosetta and today Philae has successfully separated from Rosetta and it drives towards 67P comet.
It is an important milestone of history of mankind to achieve landing on a comet.
There is a problem with the landing system if Philae finally rebounds after impact on the ground but is is expected some harpoons are enough to grab by itself to the ground.
Writing this entry, I have seen like controllers of the mission have started to raise their arms on signal of happiness. They have succeeded on probe landing.
Philae started his journey from 22 kilometers from 67P comet with a speed of 18 centimeters per second and rising along the path.

Something rather peculiar is the recording captured by the prove close to the comet.
Wow! 500 million of kilometers out from The Earth.
