Update (Nov. 14, 2014 at 23:00 UTC): Contact with Philae has been re-established! Data taken from the surface (including drill samples) have been sent back to Earth. Not only that, a command was sent to rotate the lander, and that worked as well! It rotated by 35°, enough to point a bigger solar panel up to the Sun. Reports indicate power is flowing, so the life of the mission has at the very least been extended somewhat. This is incredible work by the ESA team!
http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2014/11/14/philae_rosetta_sees_spot_where_lander_bounced.html Sounds promising. |

After the above optimism it seems the lander is now "dead". They are just hoping the Solar cells power it up enough to upload it's data, which by the sounds of it is quite a lot. Even though it only lasted 60 hours and landed upside down, it will still give scientists a lot of data to work through.

Cheers Greg, knew it was on but forgot about it.
Cosmos was on last week but no sign of episode 2 tonight  Lets hope it's resumed next week. |

By:
Not 100% sure Ovalman, but I think the Cosmos episode was a one off for the Brian Cox night.
That picture above from HH Sultan is clearly a fake by the way. there are no stars in the sky. |

I know Degs
 but I found this http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04l60q8/episodes/guide so hopeful all 13 will be shown some time in the future. I'm especially hoping the original UK version will be shown as it was for the first episode. |

By:
that looks hopeful Ovalman. I'm sure I saw Cosmos when it was originally on, but really don't remember it that well, but I do remember Sagan from the Royal Institute Christmas Lectures he did, he was a revelation, one of the great 20th Century scientists.

By:
I missed the Royal Institute Lecture although they are available on Youtube. Sagan is one of my heroes and Cosmos is a great part of why I love Astronomy. I own the boxset but I'd love to see the UK version again.

Can't believe the fuss being made by feminists on twitter etc about some silly shirt one of the scientists wore.
Did you see that? He shouldn't have apologised, instead he should have told them to feck off grow up and get lives. While wearing the shirt and matching trousers. I'm totally sick of the full time sanctimonious fools on "social media" in a state of near permanent outrage at something, it seems like twitter only exists for kn*bs to make kn*bs of themselves  |

I just listened to the Star Talk Podcast and Bill Nye said that for every $1 spent on Space, $3.60 is returned. I think that's a good return.
Even though Rosetta is a pure science mission, I'm sure some good will have already come from it. |
