According to a multitude of media sources, including CNN (the article for which I will post below), Rosetta has successfully landed on a comet. Rosetta had been in pursuit of this particular comet for past decade, when it had finally touched down on comet 67p. This comet is likely to have originated in the Kuiper belt, which given this origin, would give us great insight into our early solar system.
The main goal of this mission would be to learn how a comet works.
Take a look at the article below for full developments on this scientific breakthrough!
