They Finally Found Philae!
After more than a year of searching, the Rosetta comet mission’s Philae lander has finally been found!
The definitive image was taken on Friday, when the orbiting probe swooped down to less than three kilometers from the surface of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Philae can be seen wedged into a crack next to a big boulder all the way on the right side of the image. The main rectangular body of the lander is obvious, as is one of its legs sticking up off the surface.
At last! There it is! (on the right):
