It was a historic landing on a comet, but unfortunately, not a smooth one. The ESA confirmed that Rosetta lander, Philae, bounced twice and ultimately end

For now, it race to gather as much scientific data as possible before the battery initial charge of 64 hours runs out. Philae investigation of the comet ice and rock, which is supposed to give clues to the origins of our solar system, will be severely hampered and cut short by the rocky landing. The problem began, it seems, when Philae touched down on the comet for the first time, but its harpoons did not fire to anchor the lander. The comet gravity is 100,000 times weaker than Earth , so Philae bounced more than half a mile into space before setting down, only to bounce a second time. Now, the ESA thinks Philae is sitting on its side, with one of its three feet in the air, at the bottom of a cliff. In this pos
