Rosetta e Philae: aren't they cute? :D

Comet Landing [#astronomy]

Celebrate the success of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Rosetta mission to Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.

Today is the day! Today Rosetta mission finally ends, with a controlled impact of the probe on the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. I followed this mission with a lot of enthusiasm, passion, interest, fun... I loved Rosetta and Philae, I loved the videos (HERE the last one). On September the 6th we said our goodbye to Philae, and today the mission ends and we'll say our final goodbye to Rosetta too. I'm sad, but also excited for the very big amount of information that this mission gave and will continue to give us about comets, space, the universe and everything else.

Once upon a time... Rosetta's second year at the comet

One year passed, and Rosetta and Philae are still studing! :)

Un anno è passato, e Rosetta e Philae stanno ancora studiando! :)

The Rosetta Mission [Astronomy]

A very cute claymation video made by Royal Observatory Greenwich made which explains what Rosetta and Philae have achieved as well as the impact the mission has had on our knowledge of our very own solar system.

Un carinissimo video realizzato dall'Osservatorio Reale di Greenwich che spiega che risultati Roestta e Philae hanno ottenuto e cheimpatto la missione ha avuto sulle nostre conoscenze del nostro sistema solare.

Celebrating 1 year since arriving at #67P! [Astronomy]

A year ago, the probe Rosetta arrived at the comet 67P, and ESA's celebrating on twitter!

Waiting for news from New Horizons, let's remember another awesome moment for science!

Philae is back [Astronomy]

Someday maybe I'll find the time to talk more deeply about Rosetta Mission on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Now I just want to share a good news with you: Philae, the lander that since last Novembre is on the surface of the comet, woke up today! Below the two tweets with which I discovered the news, and an article about the matter! Isn't it exciting? :)

Un giorno forse troverò il tempo per parlare più a fondo della Missione Rosetta sulla cometa 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Ora voglio solo condividere una buona notizia con voi: Philae, il lander che dal novembre scorso è sulla superficie della cometa, si è svegliato oggi! In basso i due tweets con cui ho scoperto la notizia, e un articolo sull'argomento! Non è eccitante? :)
