ROSETTA COMET: The European Space Agency's Rosetta probe has reached
67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and is maneuvering to go into orbit around the
comet's core. This is an historic event. After Rosetta goes into orbit, it
will follow the comet around the sun, observing its activity from point-blank
range. Moreover, in November, Rosetta will drop a lander onto the comet's
strange surface. Check http://spaceweather.com for more information and links
to a live webcast of today's rendezvous.
