The mission
was a huge success both scientifically and historically, but unfortunately Philae
has landed in a shadowy crater. This
problem is preventing the device from the proper amount of sunlight for its
solar panels. The battery as died on the
lander shortly after it collected all sorts of information to help scientist
better understand the composition of comets.
The Rosetta orditer will continue its own orbit around the comet for
more than a year, collecting whatever data it can on the comet as it barrels
through deep space.
