On 12 November 2014, after a ten-year journey through the Solar System and over 500 million kilometres from home, Rosetta’s lander Philae made space exploration history by touching down on a comet for the first time. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of this extraordinary feat, we celebrate by taking a look back over the mission's highlights.
Rosetta was an ESA mission with contributions from its Member States and NASA. It studied Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko for over two years, including delivering lander Philae to the comet’s surface. Philae was provided by a consortium led by DLR, MPS, CNES

Einstein's predictions face new challenges with universe's expanding puzzle
Tuesday, 12 November 2024 08:45
Why is the Universe's expansion speeding up? This question has baffled scientists for over 25 years since its discovery. Addressing it requires re-examining fundamental physics, particularly Einstein's general relativity.
