FRANCE-SPACE-EUROPE-ASTRONOMY-COMET
Philippe Gaudon (2nd R), chief of the Rosetta project, attends the landing of the European Space Agency's (ESA) robot craft Philae on the Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet after a 20-kilometre (12-mile) descent from its carrier the European space probe Rosetta, 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. The European probe Philae has made the first-ever landing on a comet, a crowning phase in a quest to explore the origins of the Solar System, the European Space Agency (ESA) said on November 12. Scientists hope the lander, equipped with 10 instruments, will unlock the secrets of comets -- primordial clusters of ice and dust that may have helped sow life on Earth. AFP PHOTO / REMY GABALDA
