Brilliant simulated video of Philae landers journey from the mothership (Rosetta), to the comet 67P! ________________________ Rosetta’s deployment of Philae to land on Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. The animation begins with Philae still on Rosetta, which will come to within about 22.5 km of the centre of the nucleus to release the lander on 12 November 2014. The animation then shows Philae being ejected by Rosetta and deploying its own three legs, and follows the lander’s descent until it reaches the target site on the comet about seven hours later. The animation is speeded up, but the comet rotation is true: in the time it takes for Philae to descend, the nucleus has rotated by more than 180º (the comet’s rotation period is 12.4 hours).
