Rosetta Mission

Sometime on November 11, 2014 or November, 12, 2014, the European Space Agency will be landing a probe on a comet. The Rosetta Philae probe was launched on March 2, 2004 with the ultimate goal of orbiting and landing on a comet. The comet that the probe is orbiting and will land on is comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko and will teach us a lot more about the make up of comets.
