This video of the Rosetta mission is incredible. This animation tracks Rosettas journey through the Solar System, using gravity slingshots from Earth and Mars to reach its final destination: Comet 67P. Rosetta made three flybys of Earth, on 4 March 2005, 13 November 2007 and 13 November 2009, and one of Mars on 25 February 2007. Once the spacecraft woke up from deep space hibernation on 20 January 2014, it headed for rendezvous with the comet. Rosettas Philae lander successfully made the first controlled landing on Comet 67P on November 12, 2014. Credits: ESA
