Philae's Location Found

ESA as found a subtle pair of frames of imagery from the Rosetta cameras that captured a moment just before Philae touched down and one just after it bounced back up (see GIF below.) Based on the direction of travel, they now have identified a probable “final resting place” for the lander up against the deep shadowed crater wall (see other image). It appears to be really bad luck that it found the only dark area along that trajectory. Odd ... but knowing where the brave little lander is provides closure to the mission.

This has been an engrossing mission for me .... as you can tell.
