Watch Slooh's Coverage of the Comet Landing Event this Wednesday! Dear scw, The Rosetta spacecraft, designed and developed by the European Space Agency (ESA), along with special instruments from NASA, will make an ambitious attempt to land its 220 pound sidekick “Philae” on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. This will be the first time ever a spacecraft has landed on a comet. Slooh will broadcast a free, real-time view of the comet after Philae attempts its landing, informing the public of the results as they reach Earth! Viewers can ask questions via the hashtag #SloohRosetta Stay tuned for our next meteor shower show coming this weekend: The Leonids.
