Rosetta is less than 0.5km from landing on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

That was cool, it's down now. When the thing was built the camera resolution was the best to be had, now a cellphone camera has much better in a smaller package. Too bad it was designed to turn off when it landed. Thanks Stevex  :thumb:
