نجحت وكالة الفضاء الأوروبية في وضع مجس على سطح مذنب يبعد أكثر من 510 ملايين كيلومتر عن الأرض. وانطلق المجس من مركبة الفضاء روزيتا التي كانت تتابع المذنب منذ عشرة أعوام، وتعتقد الوكالة أن البيانات التي سيجمعها المجس من سطح المذنب ستتيح فهما أوسع لاستكشاف أصل النظام الشمسي.

After a trek of more than a decade, the mini lab called Philae separated on schedule from its mother ship Rosetta. Philae is to land on 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, a comet now more than 510 million kilometres (320 million miles) from Earth and racing towards the Sun.

DARMSTADT, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 12: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) In this November 11, 2014 handout photo illustration provided by the European Space Agency (ESA) the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet is shown to scale in comparison to the city of Paris. ESA will attempt to land the Philae lander, launched from the Rosetta probe, onto the comet in the afternoon (GMT) of November 12, which, if successful, will be the first time ever that a man-made craft has landed onto a comet. The Philae lander is a mini laboratory that will harpoon itself to the surface, though a problem with a gas thruster detected November 11 is making the outcome of the landing uncertain. — صورة تظهر ضخامة المذنب مقارنة بمدينة باريس (غيتي)

A picture shows a model of the European Space Agency's (ESA) robot craft Philae at the the Cite de l'espace (Space City) in Toulouse, southern France, on November 12, 2014, the day Philae began a 20-kilometre (12-mile) descent toward the Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet after being launched from the space probe Rosetta, following a ten year journey. Europe's Rosetta spacecraft made contact with its robot craft Philae soon after the lander embarked on November 12 on a solo, seven-hour descent to a comet, ground controllers said. Astrophysicists hope Philae will unlock knowledge about the origins of the Solar System and even life on Earth, which some believe may have started with comets 'seeding' the planet with life-giving carbon molecules and water.

Scientists wait for the first picture transmitted by the European Space Agency's (ESA) robot craft Philae, in the scientific mission observation centre of the French space agency Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) in Toulouse, southern France, on November 12, 2014, as Philae carries out a 20-kms (12-mile) descent toward the Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet after being launched from space probe Rosetta, following a 10-year journey. Europe's Rosetta spacecraft made contact with its robot craft Philae soon after the lander embarked on November 12 on a solo, seven-hour descent to a comet, ground controllers said.

A handout picture made available by the European Space Agency (ESA) on 12 November 2014 shows the Philae lander shortly after separation from Rosetta, 12 November 2014. The lander separated from the orbiter at 09:03 GMT/10:03 CET and is expected to touch down on Comet 67P/ChuryumovGerasimenko seven hours later. Rosetta and Philae had been riding through space together for more than 10 years. EPA/ESA/Rosetta/Philae/CIVA / HANDOUT — المجس فيلاي بعد انفصاله عن روزيتا بلحظات (الأوروبية)

The picture taken with the navigation camera on Rosetta and released by the European Space Agency ESA shows a raised plateau on the larger lobe of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. It was captured from a distance of 9.8 km from the center of the comet (7.8 km / 4.8 miles from the surface) Oct. 24, 2014.
