Philea lander found on comet.
The lost Philea lander has just been located by the Rosetta mother ship using the narrow angle on-board camera. It has a resolution of 5cm/pixel, and clearly spotted the lost lander from an elevation of 2.7 km altitude. The target is only about 1 meter in size and the altitude translates to nearly 2 miles! (I'll create a new rumor that the camera was made by Canon!) See link, interesting read.

Cool, sorry but not Canon, it's not made of the Right Stuff
