GOOGLE HIGHLIGHTS & CELEBRATES ON ITS HOME PAGE HISTORIC LANDING OF PHILAE LANDER ON COMET ROCKY TERRAIN

Google on Thursday celebrated the historic landing of European Space Agency’s Rosetta probe on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, with a doodle on its homepage.

The landing on the speeding comet marks the highlight of the decade-long Rosetta spacecraft’s mission to study comets and learn more about the origins of these celestial bodies.

Scientists hope that the data collected by the spacecraft and its probe will provide insights into the origins of comets and other objects in the universe.
