hmmm, sounds like Philae could be fairly short lived - not much sunlight, obviously on a severe 'angle' - that is unfortunate. if it runs out of batteries, there may be a chance that it gets more light much later down the track when it gets closer to the sun. but then it maybe damaged by geyser activity. fingers crossed they can get most of the readings they are after.

ps cannot wait for new horizons
