Philae! There you are!

Hey there, little guy - so that's where you got to!

Rosetta, with only a few weeks until it will be 'landed' on the comet itself, has successfully photographed the Philae lander.  Philae was identified in the photos three days ago, here is the official ESA report:

 This is way cool.  I hope ESA releases another cartoon video about this phase of the Rosetta/Philae adventure.

Here's some links to the other videos:

 Great examples of science communication :)

Goobye Philae!
