Missing Philae Spacecraft found on comet

European Space Agency released a photo of the washing machine-sized robot lab on the comet’s rough surface, one of its three legs thrust dramatically into the air.
•    This was the first sighting of Philae since its rough landing in November 2014. 
•    The image was captured by Rosetta’s OSIRIS narrow-angle camera on Friday and downloaded two days later — just weeks before the official end of the groundbreaking science mission to unravel the mysteries of life on Earth.
•    The Twitter page of Philae, its communications unit switched off in July, remained silent.
•    The 100kg probe touched down on comet 67P in November 2014, after a 10-year, 6.5 billion kilometre journey piggybacking on Rosetta.
•    Philae bounced several times after its harpoons failed to fire, and ended up in a ditch shadowed from the Sun’s battery-replenishing rays.
