Already got my popcorn ready, it's going to be a late night

I'm looking at this one:
http://new.livestream.com/ESA/cometlanding
Same stream but has highlights down the page.

Also this is a great reference for the timeline of operations:

UMSF also has a thread with useful links if anyone wants more info about the landing operations or the mission:

Also look at these close up images

Is it just me or does the ESA live feed coverage remind anyone else of the Eurovision Song Contest?

I've been watching and blogging since 8am this morning. I won't be finished until 3am. LOL
Juggling 2 Facebook groups, my own FB page, Twitter and a dedicated Rosetta/Philae chat room.
haven't had this much fun in a long time.

Humans are capable of the most atrocious things,but also capable of the most brilliant achievements....congratulations humanity!!

"@Philae_ROMAP magnetic field analysis revealed 3 landings at 15:33, 17:26 and 17:33 UTC"

2 bounces!

[Neil]

I hope the bouncing has stopped, still not bad when there's no guiding and one thruster , which was supposed to stop the bouncing. Hopefully everything will work well from here on,clear skies.

First image from the surface apparently:

Little hard to judge what's going on, though due to the warping this looks like a stitch of a couple of the CIVA-P images.

EDIT: I should have read the description - "Rosetta’s lander Philae is safely on the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, as these first two CIVA images confirm. One of the lander’s three feet can be seen in the foreground. The full panoramic from CIVA will be delivered in this afternoon’s press briefing at 13:00 GMT/14:00 CET."

I wonder why they've only released 2 of the CIVA-P images...?

[pluto (Hugh)]

Doesn't look good, looks like Philae may be lying on its side. If you rotate that partial pano 90 deg clockwise it kind of looks right...

We'll find out at the press conference at midnight tonight AEDST.

[Nico13 (Ken)]

Thanks for that post Hugh, will be watching as I'm at work till 01:45am
