For those who have an interest in science stuff in general and space exploration in particular, there is some exciting news - many of you might have watched and enjoyed Hollywood flicks such as Armageddon and DeepImpact among others, and thought if it would ever be possible for either Man or a Man made object to land on a surface of a comet orbiting our Sun in deep space.
Well, the moment has finally arrived as after a journey of 10 years and some 500 million odd kilometers, the Rosetta deep-space probe built and launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) will try and land a robotic probe on the surface of a comet (67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko) and perform various scientific experiments.
The best part about this thrilling event is that you can watch it live here -http://rosetta.esa.int/
